Question about a Valley Table
- Thread starter irock
- Start date
I had this exact issue. I don’t know how handy you are but what i did was tapped the existing holes with a 10/32 tap and ordered plastic 10/32 screws about 3/8 long and held the pocket liners on that way. Just open the holes up on the liners to accept the screws. You’ll need a shorter tap (make sure it’s new and sharp),small tap holder , patience, and a little cutting oil. If you don’t feel comfortable doing this then don’t, if you break a tap in that hole you’ll be pissed.!
Don't know if they still sell these

You can get those at most automotive type stores or a body shop.
And that is the other way the bills get nicked up.
Table
I highly recommend using the the proper fastener, on the older model valley a spiral shank nail that is designed for that table castings, if the hole has become enlarged from neglect of hack maintenance you can use a desired size piece of solid copper wire to fill the void by inserting the wire in the hole them installing the nail.
The older valley pocket liner nail has a rounded head that causes no damage to the balls. I’ll dig one out and post a picture of the nail.
