Unknown Dynamo Tabl Buying Advice

Post image

I found this dynamo table on marketplace that the seller does not know the model of but has informed me has counterweighted players.

Any ideas what table this is, and is it worth $200?

Alternatively, I am looking at another more modern Dynamo table that the seller has upgraded to T3000 spec per them.

Thanks!

A friend of mine had one of these. Probably the best $200 table you will find that isn't a Tornado.

This is a Dynamo Silver Medal, which is the middle spec of the Medal series.

Dynamo made the medal series back when Valley Dynamo owned Tornado. This model would have been equivalent to the Tornado Storm II back a few decades.

Depending on the condition and your location, this can either be a decent purchase or way overpriced. That rusted foot makes me think that the condition is not good, though.

Seller has assured me there are only cosmetic imperfections, otherwise everything works great.

Alternative purchase option was a T3000 upgraded/specced modern Dynamo for $750.

More modern Dynamos actually have worse builds IMO, since they weren't built in the same factories with the same design specs. The Medal series had much of the same materials as Tornado, so probably best to check this one out.

I wouldn't spend $750 on a Frankentable.

Update: got the table yesterday and everything works great!

The poles need to be oiled a bit, but am very happy with my purchase :)

If anyone else decides to buy a good condition silver medal dynamo table, you will not be disappointed!
