Foosball Table Rod
How can I improve/protect my 7-year-old Tornado Soccer foosball table?
1) The basement in my new place stays relatively dry. I run a dehumdifier down there dayly, but since my wife (the reason why the living room is out) and I only lived there for the past few months, I don't know how it gets in the winter. Would my table be okay down there even if it gets pretty cold in the winter?
2) The metal bars have been "gunked" up pretty good over the years (spilled beer, greasy hands, etc). What can I use to get them nice and smooth and stay that way? All I've used before is a can of generic WD40 but the smoothness never seems to last very long.
3) The table's been on carpet, concrete, and wood floors so the screw-on height adjusters on the bottoms of the legs are completely out of whack at this point. I've tried old baseball cards, coasters, magazines, you name it, to try to level the table as much as possible. Does anyone have any tips for me to achieve flawless levelness? I use one of those "bubble rods" to judge it, but can't seem to get it perfect.
It seems like you are doing evverything right, the only other thing I would suggest, is to spray Silicone on the metal bars to have them slide better, and keep them from rusting.
One thing I would do is make a cover for it, with rubber all around it, to fit snuggly, and come off easy, as you use it. Enjoy it.
EDIT-to completely level it, without it getting off level in some way, due to weather or, people just playing, I would say to use rubber soles from old shoes, and even glue it on there.

Carrom Foosball Tables Add Pizzaz to the Game
Cross marketing in business today is very popular, one company uses another brands success to market their own items. This is normally a win-win situation for both companies. One of the largest brands that is marketed this way is Harley Davidson. Though a Harley is THE American motorcycle, you can find many other Harley Davidson items. This ranges from the obvious motorcycle accessories and clothing, to knives and trucks. But the latest thing that I ran across with Harley branding is a foosball table by Carrom Foosball tables.
If you like foosball and Harley’s, then this is the table for you. It comes in the black and orange that is Harley’s trademark colors, with a really cool playing field. The unique playfield has a metal tread plate look (though, obviously, it is flat), with the Harley logos along the side of the field with flames extending down both sides of the field from the logos. On these Carrom foosball tables, the players are orange and black, and the playing rods are chrome-plated steel, that adds to the overall look of the table. The Harley Davidson logo and flames are applied to the sides of the tables using high quality graphics and screen printed using enamel for wear resistance. Everything about this table is designed not only for top quality, but also to enhance the look of the table, all the way down to the adjustable metal feet with black rubber leg boots, which is perfect for leveling the table and eliminates any table movement that is often associated with a screw in leg leveler.
Now, besides motorcycles, Americans love their cars and NASCAR is the number one spectator sport in America. It is also very common to see a large variety of NASCAR items for sale in many stores that have nothing to do with cars. I was in a local hardware store recently and saw NASCAR clocks. So it shouldn’t be too surprising that Carrom also offers a Licensed NASCAR foosball table.
NASCAR Carrom foosball tables feature artwork by renowned motor sport artist Sam Bass. Three cars race down the side, with the NASCAR emblem and the artists signature. The graphics are digitally printed with a baked UV coating, allowing for a wonderful finish that will last for years. The players are red and blue and are designed to look like NASCAR drivers. Both wood beaded scoring racks are done in black.
So, if you like foosball and are a NASCAR or Harley Davidson fan, then one of these Carrom foosball tables is perfect for you. Both of these foosball tables have three player goalies for tournament style play They are both high quality tables, though the Harley table has some higher grade features that makes it a bit more expensive. But you know that with the Carrom brand, you are getting a quality table at any price point. Carrom has been in the family game business for over 100 years, and they bring their expertise and knowledge to all of their products. Game rooms should be fun, and the special design on these tables adds that extra spark of fun to the game.
