Hello everyone.
I got my table from a local pool hall where they left the table disassembled in the storage for a long time (probably 3-5 years). A local pool table builder helped to level and covered the cloth. Since the rail cushion cloths are still brand new, I left it unchanged to test out
It played ok for about a couple of days then the balls starting to jump When come off the rail. It's just a little bit at the beginning, at only one or two spots. Now it jumps really bad even though English is still in effect.
I'm thinking it's most likely the rubber is shot. Which is fine if I could find out for sure. The reason I'm doubting is that I read some where referencing that the height of the nose and/or how tight the rail is bolting down to the table also play a crucial part in how balls react.
This table is pretty weird. I have whole bunch of the Brunswick rail bolts so I'm pretty sure it is. But not sure how to attach the rails to the tables.
So right now what I have is just some 2x4's attaching to the apron and the sub rail/top.
So some quick questions to get started please:
- anyone has any clue what model/make is this table? Manual (with details on how to assemble it) would be appreciated.
- how to check to see if the rubber has any life left or not
- if replacement is needed, which brand is good and what's the life expectancy should I get out of it?
- best place to get it?
- anything else I should know?
Thanks in advance.
