Older thread, but figure I'd add some perspective. I've visited Little Al's shop several times when it used to be upstairs at Hard Times Bellflower. Your tip had popped off at some point during a game that forced you to switch to your spare shaft, so between games you run upstairs to get it fixed. I've had cue repair done there as many of others have.
I was present when one of my friends was trying to get a quote for ordering a sneaky pete. Of all the times I've been upstair in Al's shop, I've never seen complete custom cues just sitting there waiting to be bought. Most cues I saw were in various state of work. His shop was actually quite small from what I remember. I honestly don't believe he was churning out cues like some people say in this thread.
