Storm II with side return but no leg levelers?

There is a Storm II for sale in my area, but it looks like it does not have leg levelers. Doing some research it looks like there was an older version of the Storm II without them, but the ball return was on the end. Anyone have any idea whats going on here?

Thanks!

Warrior or Garlando g500

Having trouble finding a used Tornado in the right price range locally. Would either a Warrior or Garlando g500 be good enough and roughly the same quality as each other? And both would be major step up over Kick brand? Both are avail about 30 min away. Nothing competitive planned for now. Mostly for kids just learning.

Slippery playing surface

I purchased a storm 2 table recently and fixed some damaged men and one rod while cleaning the the rods and applying lube. I cleaned the play surface with 70% rubbing alcohol as it had some spots on it and it did a great job. Surface looks nearly brand new, but it’s very slippery. Has anyone else’s encountered this on older tables? I play on a few tables and mine is noticeably slippery when trying to hold snake shots and even just passing.

Any tips on a way to clean it and get and of that Tornado grip back?

Fabi Home vs RS College

Hi all,

I’m stuck between these two tables. Anyone have any opinions/thoughts? I’ve played on Fabi coin op tables in the past and really like them. Not sure how different they are vs the home edition. I’ve also never played on a Roberto Sport. Enjoy fast ball play.

Any opinions/thoughts? The RS is also $250 cheaper.

Thanks!

Cyclone 2 wheels

Anyone know where or what wheels these are, I have a tornado cyclone 2, and though not ideal it would make it alot easier to use table and I could use it more often because I have to constantly move it back and forth to a spot in order to use, locking wheels would be perfect.

Do I make another offer or keep looking?

Hi,

Looking for a used Tornado, and I keep seeing this one posted on offerup, https://offerup.co/T1M3OlvzPOb, from what I see it looks over priced. What are your thoughts? I see scratches and maybe no major damage, yet it's an hour away, so not sure it's worth my time to look. Same table was posted last month and I offered $500 and I never received a response.

I'd really like to spend between $200 and $400, $500 at the most, what should I be looking for? And besides craigslist, OfferUp, Facebook where else should I be looking? Shot story longer,, three years ago, we got a foosball table for the family to pass some of the time, my now 12 year old son and I are the only ones who regularly play. The table isn't even, the balls rolls every which way, lots of dead space between players, walls do not have any bounce.... Yet, we still regularly play, and he has gotten good enough, we have an equally chance at winning. Today, he won three in a row, coming back twice after me being up five and me being at 8 and 9. I know my son's improvement is stymied by the quality of the table. He doesn't need a pro table, yet we do need one where he can practice making passes without the table getting in the way. So I'm looking for a better used table so we can actually work on improving our play, pass and catch, etc. Any advices on what I should be looking for and where is appreciated.

Thank you for stopping.

Found this, https://portland.craigslist.org/clk/tag/d/vancouver-dynamo-foosball-table/7798989614.html Anyone know about these?

Rod lubrication

Just got a used Shelti Foos I. Plays well and is smooth. The guy who sold it to me said WD-40 the rods now and then. That doesn’t seem right to me and just wondering what you all use? Rod bearings are plastic. Thanks!
