I have the opportunity to pick up a 60's vintage Valley 7' table. Really good shape cosmetically, and it will fit nicely in my rec room.
I tested the table yesterday. A minor rollout that's consistent on both ends of the table. Should be fixable. But what really got me was the rails. The first test was just rolling a ball across the width of the table. When the ball hit the rail it seemed to accelerate off the rail. I hit a few shots and saw the same reaction.
The guy selling the table told me he recovered the table about 6 months ago. Rails look generally aligned, but could use a little TLC. I'm planning on doing a full recover and rail replacement at some point, but was curious if this "acceleration" could be adjusted out somehow?
Thanks in advance for your thoughts and feedback.
