Topic: Converting a coin-operated Tornado foosball table to free play

[tyncam]

I just purchased a Tornado Foosball table (it's a coin-operated model with a brown marble color) and I'd like to set it to free play. It has a "ESD" coin slot with four coin opening, two of which have black spacers/blanks. What size spacers/blanks fit here and can I just insert those to avoid inserting quarters going forward - or is there an easier method to do so?

You can add two more blanks..cheap enough. I added blanks since they came with the table i bought. You may be able to remove piece that blocks slide until quarters are inserted...?  It has been quite a few years since i looked at coin mech that closely. Some would tell you to just remove "ready ramp"  and block ball track but then you have to reach farther into table. The balls dropping on a tornado table is part of the experience in my opinion   so i do not like that approach.
