Title: New to me Tornado T3000
Post by: Schurtjl on December 05, 2021, 05:31:46 PM

Slowly outfitting a game room in my shop, and wanted a foosball table.  Haven’t played in close to 20 years, had no idea what was a quality table until I did a search, came across this forum, and saw that Tornado T3000’s were one of the tables to have.  Searched and watched Craigslist for awhile with no luck.  Had nothing to lose, so I put a want ad on there looking for a T3000.  Next day had a gentleman reach out saying he had my table.  4 year old T3000, 1 man goalie (what I wanted), non-coin operated (home use so fine by me).  He was selling to get a three man goalie table for tournament play practice.  Met up the next day, inspected the table, which was in near new condition, gave him $1300, and brought it home.  Nice guy to deal with.  Got it home and moved into my shops 2nd story game room.  Kind of rusty at playing, but it’s coming back, and my kids are catching on quick.  What a great table to play on, very impressed with it. 

Trying to post pictures of it here, not seeing any way to though.

Congrats! You bought the right table. Im sure you'll be happy with it. Can you remove the corner ramps it you wanted to go to a three man goalie?

There’s no way to remove the corner ramps, they’re built into the playing surface.

Can't go wrong with a T3000.

I have castors on mine, because I need to move it aside on occasion.

Think I finally figured out how to post a couple pictures, hopefully this works.

Looks great. Red is a nice touch too.

Love the crimson red, my personal coin op is the same color. Congrats!
