Hi all. I have a Lightly Used Bonzini B90 Rustic that I am selling for $1,500. Buyer would need to pick it up in Manhattan, NY. We had it on a soundstage for years, but no longer have the room for it. It has barely been used.

General Chat / Tournament Soccer Table - The Million Dollar Game

« Last post by foose on September 22, 2023, 12:53:36 PM »

Greetings!

Back in the day I scored a slightly used Tournament Soccer Table from a tourney in Reno... the table was number 30.  Our family has enjoyed many years of fun with this table.  I recently passed it on to my oldest son.  Son number two is looking for a similar table with the same characteristics... slap shots, banks, one man goalie, etc. Do any of the currently available tables have a similar play style?

Thanks!

Best I can do for info is point you here: https://www.foosball.com/forum/index.php?topic=2704.0

Obviously a brown marble T-2000 with metal feet and ashtrays. Awesome table. You might be able to get $700+ to the right person, most brown marbles fetch 200-500 but dont look as nice and you never see ashtrays on them. Only thing that might hurt it is that its not a coin op., nor does it look like a split cabinet model.  I am also unsure if those ashtrays are original, they might be but I am not too familiar.

I really like the technical drawing and would love a pdf scan of that if possible. I am a tech teacher, teach CAD, and run a foosball club so that would be perfect blown up and on my classroom wall. Any chance you can get me a hi-res scan of that?

Any information would be greatly appreciated. Age, value etc.

Any way his school could start a foosball club? I run one at the school I work at and get 20-30 kids at my weekly tournaments. Please get in touch with the administrators in the district and https://foosballclubsusa.com/. That might be your best bet.
Good luck

My son likes to play foosball. We have foosball table at home. We know there are many adult players in bay area. My son hopes to find other kids to play with. Are there any kids are interested in playing foosball?

My son is at 8 grade and we live in Fremont, California.

Thanks

General Chat / Re: Curved playing field on vintage (maybe tournament soccer table)

« Last post by Roberts on September 01, 2023, 10:16:18 AM »

I was given this vintage (1970's) table by my neighbor.  After cleaning it up it looks and works great, but I noticed that no matter where you put the ball on the table it wants to roll in towards the center.  I am wondering if the field is supposed to be curved or if it has just sagged over the years.  If I apply some pressure on the bottom of the table in the center, it seems to flatten it out pretty well.  Wondering if this is something i can/should fix, or if this is the way it was designed and we should just play it as is. 
I can't figure out how to attach a photo to this post, but the table I have is the same exact one that is shown in this post https://www.foosball.com/forum/index.php?topic=4789.0

Are there any human verification tests to create an account on this forum? If so, the bots seem to have it figured out.

Looks good to me.

I'd check for play surface warping as well.

Here's some help on table ID:
