Is this that diamond railed Frankenstein table? I forgot what base and slates you said it had.

If yes, then NO.
 
This has to be a trick question . You know tables better than anyone Here

Not a trick question, just looking to see how many AZB members know something about pool tables, seeing how there seems to be so many experts at buying cues, a pool table is the most important part of this game, and cues are worthless without them. And according to some on here, pool table mechanic's are pretty much at the same level of work everywhere, which is why no one seems to think twice about hiring one to work on their pool table (s).
 
We.have two tables that LOOK like that...with 4.75 inch corner pockets...
....ours are Diamonds for sure.
I'm sure there is a reason for posing this question....I'm interested in the answer.

Would I pay $1.500 for it? YES, in a heart beat...it looks great.

I bought a fake Balabuska once...he tried to sell it to me as a real one....
...I ended up buying it for $270....the cue, fake or not, was worth a lot more.

This must be the Frankenstein table. Is this after you fixed it?

Yes, but if I hadn't already said something about it already, I wonder how many members here would be trying to jump on it for $1,500 because what it looks like in the pictures is exactly what it looked like when I first saw it.

I would definitely look underneath. I will say, someone went to allot of trouble to get those stains to match.

Would you mind if it had this for a frame? Lag bolts used to mount the frame to the leg pedestals and frame? Corners of the frame held together with 3 wood screws, and not flat on the top of the frame?

No.
And pls. Glen, don't spend a month to fix it .
Please walk away from it .
The people who have REAL Diamond and Gold Crowns deserve your time .
Not the ones with Frankensteins.

Just on looks, I'm getting out my money..the TOP looks worth $1,500...
...now if YOU were there and told me not to buy it....then I wouldn't.

Still feel the same way if the rails are the red label design and I quote you $1,500 to convert them to the blue label, because that would then put you into the table for $3k.
 
Are those real Diamond rail skirts? I've never seen a Diamond with those big white diamonds going down the side. The stain on the base is partly what got me. It doesn't quite match and the shape of the legs looks...wrong to me.

Yes, they were custom built by Diamond, but the leg pedestals, I don't know who built them, but they didn't match the frame either which is why they were lag bolted to the pedestals and frame, but that didn't stop the table from being shake or moving if you bumped into it.

Maybe it's a Cooper-Diamond . :eek:
Joey~Wondering who even knows Cooper tables~

Now Joey, what kind of a pool table mechanic would I be, if I left this customer to someone else to fix this table, knowing no one else in this country working on pool tables would come to this customers aid and fix it right?
