That's one of the things there's some people have a pool table like that and they move or sell the house you can't just put this thing in the car and take it with you. Hopefully the new owners are willing to take it and maybe even pay you something for it. Most likely though the new owners will want that thing out of there cuz it takes up the entire room often their living room.

I remember back in the mid 70's I think, I picked up a Murrey 9' Gold Crown looks with pinned slate I think it was for $200.
Friend and I were sitting in a bar and this couple says they are moving the next day and need to sell this table before they leave. After about an hour we were down to $200 if we could get it out by the next day. Ended up being new condition, not a bad table, but dang those slates were heavy, I think they were 1 1/8" thick. Anyway about a yr later I got divorced and table stayed in the house, not sure what ever happened to it.

Just saw that Matchroom has now partnered with CPBA cloth, so they will no longer be using Simonis cloth for WNT tournaments.

Has anyone played on CPBA cloth? And if so, how does it compare to Simonis 860HR?

Hoang leaves himself on the 50 yard line on the 9ball to make the score 2-3. He misses it and leaves a semi-tough 9ball for the Berginator. The Berger King knocks it down to get on the hill. 4-1 to the Iceberg.

Hoang composes himself in the next rack and adds another game to make it 2-4.

The Berg Khalifa to break in the next rack.

My bad, it was Hoang's break, not the Bergamot.

I agree. Unless you're a real pool fanatic or somebody with unlimited funds, you can get a good price on older gold crowns. I see them for sale often. You're going to get all the fun and enjoyment out of that table you could ever want and if you put a few bucks into it you can make it play really fantastic.

Just to throw this in, I've got a 9 foot gold crown sitting in the other room I paid $400 for it was like brand new. It was bought new and had never been in a pool room. When I recovered it I found two rows of staple holes meaning it had only been recovered one time.

The people were selling the house the new owners didn't want the table basically they just gave me the table to get it out of there. Not everybody is a pool player and they take up a lot of room.

With the ball frozen on the cushion, I think some of the suggestions won't work.

If you play the side-to-side safety, concentrate on putting the object ball exactly where you want on the side rail. If you get it right, the cue ball should be good enough.
