Vintage Adam Cue Identification – Looking for Model, Year & Catalog Match

I like a lot of the Meucci Original designs but more specifically the 84 series, Jim Rempe cues, some of the David Howard models. I have an 84-5 that I like. There's an 84-6 on ebay now but I need to quit spending money on cues for now.

In the late 80's I was playing with a Meucci but wanted a Joss or Schon. Got a used gold letter Joss and they are by far my favorite production cue maker. I need to add a block letter Joss and a gold letter Joss to my collection now. Never did get a Schon. Back in the 80's and early 90's almost all of the cues I bought were used and at a pool hall or from a pawn shop. I used to go looking at pawn shops for something interesting.

The only guy that used to beat me regularly in college had a Meucci. He kept trying to play me for my block letter Joss. Glad I didn't. I still own it. He became an engineer I think.

Well, he did cross most of the important parameters off the list of things to consider, so the question doesn't mean much. Here's my suggestion:

A 12 mm stainless steel tube

I once got a 5/8-inch solid aluminum rod and put a tip on it. Hit the ball a ton, but I couldn't get used to the cue ball deflection.

People are talking Bergman up for Mosconi Cup on a big table but he can't even win on a barbox, his supposed specialty, against a guy AZB says has about $30k in career earnings. No thanks.

To be fair, AZB also says Gareth Potts has < $150k earnings and Ronnie O'Sullivan isn't even listed. I wouldn't use AZB as a source for anything other than American pool.

You might not recognize the earliest cues made by Bob Meucci.

You're comment is interesting to me because overall I don't like meucci designs, though I like some. I find them generally ugly. I own exactly one Meucci cue.
