I just bought a generic foosball table (can't even see a brand name) used for $75 bucks. It was a steal, because this is in very nice condition. I am well aware of the differences between a Harvard and a Tornado table, and I would like to make it closer to the Tornado variety.
1. I wanted to change the players from the generic square-toe to Tornado's men.
-Is this easy to do using the existing rods, or will I run into complications?
-I also found a set of 26 men made by Carrom, and they are counter-ballanced and look almost identical to the tornado men, for about $65 less. Is anyone familiar with these men? Do they work just the same?
2. I have the classic 1-man goalie, but I have the gradually sloped corners, which makes the surface slightly slanted at the 2-man and 3-man. Basically it's very difficult to do tic-tac passes.
-I wanted to change the playsurface to make it completely flat.
Sorry if this is long, but I am very excited about having a table in the first place, and I wanted some of your input on whether or not this would be a good idea. Thanks!
I posted this in the General Chat area, too. Sorry if you're reading this twice.
