Air Hockey

The most important thing to an air hockey table is the table top material.   Once that gets ruined or warped a bit, then the table will be useless.   no one likes dead spots on an air hockey table.  This is why a lot of people sell their air hockey tables for cheap.  Either the table top is warped/chipped, the holes are clogged up with stuff they can not get out so there are dead spots on the table (enough air can not get through the holes) or the table top has been worn down enough where you can see the under lament (typically seen big table tops having big huge round circles usually near the player's goals)

I got my first air hockey table (Brunswick)  for $50 since the guy had it in his living room and his wife wanted it gone NOW!    It had wear spots as I described above but for $50, I had to get it.  I then sold it for a few hundred I think (or more) to a collector out in Texas who wanted to restore it somehow ...... I then used that money to purchase a pretty much brand new air hockey table (Dynamo) from my work (since they needed to clear out the "play room" area).

You can see my first and second air hockey tables at my arcade site (link below)

Am I the only one that reads his name similar to singlet, as though he is some sort of modular family member?

Thank god... I also read billf's name like it's some sort of wet sound effect, and I can never see the f in ahofle's name.
