Title: Tornado Coin op repair
Post by: wrestlsimp on December 14, 2020, 12:08:38 AM: I just purchased a used Tornado Coin op. It needs some work, specifically the coin op mechanism. I am trying to find which parts are needed to get this to work. The guy said a piece broke, so he opened the table each time and manually flipped the ball return (What a pain!).

Any input is greatly appreciated!(https://imgur.com/a/SXCWmeu)

I am having trouble attaching an image. Here is a link to the image:

Yes. That's how most tables are set-up for tournaments.
The chip? That's why many don't allow coin-toss onto their tables.

No clue about repairing the playing field. As long as it has not reached the MDF underneath, I wouldn't worry about it unless effects the play. A bit of crazy glue would work just to keep it sealed. Not sure if you have the coin box key and the coin box. In the pic, it's in the locked position. The key # on mine is 90095 and the cabinet lock key is 90094. The people who replied to you are the Best. Not me though, I am still learning from them. Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year everyone!
