I sent a message to this post asking what color the cabinet is. If it's a Gray Marble it may well be worth the $$.

This table is a brown marble coin-op and it's absolutely beat to death. Someone has taken a pry bar and stuck it in about the middle of the split section and broke alot of the laminate. Also broken around the locks where it's been vandalized. $600.00 the guy has lost his mind. I wouldn't give $100.00 for it.

Wow how do you guys find all these great deals?!?!?  What was the condition of the cherry laminate table?

Thankfully the town I live in has many bars that have Tornado foos tables in them. Thanks to yours personally  . After 8 years of foosball endeavors I have gotten aquainted with the vendors because of lack of replacement parts, poor table maintenance etc. Sometimes if you ask them if they know where any tables are you will get an answer like I did (well you know I do have one table thats not in a bar) BINGO! That table is not making them any money! MAKE THE OFFER RIGHT THEN AND THERE. I offered $250.00 he countered at $300.00 (sold). The Warrior I bought came from beginner player that went to Missouri State and cleaned house in beginner singles, rookie singles and highest placing player beginner in Open Division. So they guy had (3) tables he won. I bought for $250.00. There are good deals out there guys. Just ask lots of questions and look anywhere and everywhere.

I never see good deals like that in Chicagoland...and I try to keep in contact with some local pro's and local arcade vendors and they want like $900+ for the tables they have.  I even expanded my search to the Milwaukee/Madison area and Metro Detroit area...no killer deals ever pop up for me in those areas for Tornado coin-ops.  I got my grey marble coin-op for $650, but it went through some slight bar abuse.  I had to put a lot of elbow grease into it and replaced a few parts (<$100) and now it's a great tourney worthy table.  But I read about guys here who buy tables anywhere from $100-$400...now those are great deals!  I guess these deals are all about timing and are somewhat regional.  In any event, I am totally envious of you guys!
