Topic: Used Tor Coin Op

[xmanicmattx]

I recently purchased a used, Blond Tornado Coin Op. It is visually in great condition. After further use and inspection, the play surface bows down to the middle. Its not visually noticeable or I would post a picture but it is noticeable when juggling the ball. Its a negligible amount to most, but now that I noticed it its like a thorn in the side. Is there any way to remedy this aside from changing the field? If not, how hard is it to change the field? Please help.

some were on a fourm here there was a remedy pictures and every thing had some thing to do with adding some thing to the inside of the table to push agenst the playfeld when the top was closed  you might look at some old posts here

I have looked around quite a bit, but most of what I've pulled up from the search is about looking for it when buying and the models that are more known for it. If you know of the link I'd be grateful. It a pain in the ass that you can't search more than once every 20seconds. lol. Thanks. I'm honestly looking into purchasing a Fireball Coin Op and putting the Tornado in a local bar to try and increase the Foos scene in my area.

So I tried this this evening. So far, sans a minor setback, it seems to have worked. At first, the lock side wouldn't close all the way as entry hole due to the bolt on the lock mech having a little play on the top. Naught but a minor crack but a little is a lot in this case as it would allow the top to shift angle a little bit if pressed. A Couple tiny shims in the lock hole to eliminate play and the field seems 89.1% better. Thanks again for the link and thanks to original poster.
