Call the local police dept and ask for information. They might know something about the address or name? Maybe they are aware of suspicious activity? AND I WOULDNT TAKE MY WIFE ALONG! And going armed probably would be prudent.
thanks for all the input guys, really appreciate it. I'll let you know how it turns out. Got pretty excited, but all the weird has me calmed back down.
not to derail my own thread, but If I could pick your collective brains again? I've been pretty much settled on a Diamond Pro-Am, and while I save up my nickels and dimes I'm keeping an eye on the used market just in case something good pops up. Besides the one above I've found two others that caught my eye: first is a Connelly ultimate (2" 4-piece slate) with 6 legs, in what appears to be great condition, guy is asking $3,000. which would you take and why? price difference is *about* $2,500 not counting install which I'd need for either one.
and second: has anyone heard of a Robertson "Black Maxx"? found one of those (9 foot), but can't find much of anything about them. Are they good? would you buy one or keep saving for the Diamond? Guy is asking an even grand for it... it's currently apart. and he's been working on it himself.... replaced cushions, added decals to the skirts, etc. that last part makes me significantly nervous, I'm picky. very picky and not everyone is.

That’s why I think it’s a scaled down version....
...picture a cue laying on that table.
nobody has an opinion, or do I need to start a different thread?
I've played on Robertson black max tables. I'm not an expert but I thought they were a pretty good solid table.
The Connelly Ultimate was one helluva table. The slate was so thick that the balls were silent rolling on it. It was (and is) a monster pool table. Of course, it must be set up by an expert to play properly. I would rate the Robertson Black Max about equal or maybe slightly superior to the Gandy Big G table. A damn good table for 1K, again if set up properly. It was designed as a poolroom table, made for heavy use. Tables like this will almost always be better (for a serious pool player) than all the antique replica home style tables built by various manufacturers. There are exceptions to this (Peter Vitalie is one who comes to mind), but they are the exceptions and not the rule.

Is that the place in Salem? Awesome room.
Yep! :thumbup:
That says the table is in india.
Id say that home looks very american.
Might ask for a current picture...ask her to put only one ball on the playing surface. Shiiiiit, I'd ask her to place 2 balls in the mouth of a pocket, so you can sneak a better look at the way they're cut too.

thank you! so if YOU were trying to decide between the Connelly and continuing to save (another month or so) for a new Diamond Pro-Am, which do you think you'd go for? (the black max has sold)
yeah, that was my plan (more pics, not necesarily the 2 balls in a pocket, although it's an excellent idea which I'll happily steal...) IF I can ever get a response from her...

It'll be a sad day indeed if The Cue Ball ever closes...Centennials or Anniversary, your choice. If you like snooker or 3 cushion, tables for that too.
That is not a photo of their table, if you do a web search and select All Sizes you will find this picture in lots of places.
