Topic: Charles Mac or Jim Waterman

[Chase Pennell]

Hey guys! I need some info on a couple of tables. Looking to add some new ones to the roster.

Can you guys let me know what ITSF tables you can get a hold of and about how much they cost. I am looking to get either one or two of the ITSF tables. I already have Tornado so you dont need to include it. Let me know. Are there any you cannot get?

The ones I am most interested in are:
Garlando
Bonzini
Maybe Tec-Ball

If you have anything that isnt ITSF and is fun i would be more than happy to hear about it. Let me know Thanks!

Chase,

Not Charlie or Jim here, but I may be able to help with a little info.

Bonzini tables are available through Alan Cribbs.  He is the exclusive importer/distributor of Bonzini in the USA.  You may be able to find one occasionally on E-bay or craigslist, but they are few and far between.

Garlando has a couple of distributors in the US.  I'll try to find the links to the distributors websites.

TecBall is another issue all together.  You are not the only one who might be interested in getting this table.  There are currently no distributors for TecBall in the US,  heck, there is only one distributor that I know of outside of Germany, and that is in Europe also.

I try to post the info here as soon as I can.

I think Dave Gummeson still has his Garlando. You might want to contact him and find out if he wants to part with it.

Chase,

We are about to place an order for another container of tables from Bonzini.
We will post some information concerning the cost difference in a U.S. Bonzini tournament table
and an ITSF Bonzini table. A lot has to due with a licensing fee incured on an ITSF purchased table
and a few table features like scoring bead arrangement and heavy steel cross beam legs.

Currently, the Euro is trading around $1.49 USD. Take into account shipping cost increase and U.S.Customs cost,
the Bonzini B-90 is priced pretty high ($2395.00). We face many challenges in 2010 with the Bonzini product line.
It's a great table that you will not have to buy but once. Look how many changes other tables have gone through
over the last 3 years.

For players wanting an official ITSF Bonzini B-90, we will be taking orders soon. But I want to be able to offer
some alternative cost savings without altering table performance.

Hey Chase....
... glad Pat, Brad & Alan are helping where they can!

Pat's here in MD near me and we've already got access to Tornado/Bonzini... we too have been looking to add TecBall as our "next" ITSF table, but no luck.   Here's hoping Pat can work some magic soon!

Happy Foosing...
p.s. thanks for the calendars!

I have reached out to TecBall and will be ordering a Tournament used TecBall table this year, I might also get a P4P tournament table. Shipping and customs is very expensive and would be much more reasonable if there were a few people that ordered together.

You can view their store using Google Translate.

Browse to the Foosball Section and slect the Bargains section. They have both a TecBall and P4P for 1400 Euro (roughly $2000 US).

Customs and freight is roughly 700 euro ($1000). There is little difference between shipping 1 or 2 tables and I am assuming adding a 3rd wouldnt be that much more.

If anyone else is interested in ordering one of these tables let me know and I will get in touch before I place the order.

My goal is to collect one of each ITSF table and a few more (Warrior) and possibly have a seasonal ITSF training center for the US and/or throw a yearly multi table event.
