Pool table was dis-assembled, moved and reassembled today by John Burns of Classicbilliardservice. The seller of the table texted me to say how good a job the crew did and how friendly they were and my husband said they were great too. Here's our new to us table - Olhausen Champion Pro 9 foot...

That is who I contacted.

I finally did it and bought a table! YAY! We have gotten the basement ready and now I need to make arrangements for the table to be dissembled (in Hagerstown, MD) and installed in Columbia, MD. Obviously, I want it done well by someone who knows what they are doing. I can go to craigslist and...

I can find zero on that name - except for this thread... Is my sarcasm meter running low (per usual)? Or is that truly it's name? And if it is, how in the heck did you know that?

I agree. And the post wouldn't let me post with just that statement! :-)

Ball return looks completely different from other Irving Kaye tables. Looks to be an 8ft table too? And read that finding parts is difficult. Read elsewhere that someone had to hire people to take it to the dump when he couldn't find a buyer for the table he loved. They had to take a...

Oo - thanks! Googling now.

LOL... It's pretty, but I can't find it anywhere looking through images. I have an email out to the person selling it, but so far I haven't heard from him/her. Pretty shouldn't be a deciding factor for playing I suppose, but I love how it looks.

I look daily to try to find a new pool table. Anyone know what this one is?

Measured a Gold Crown out on the floor And it seems we have plenty of room and "one" pole. The outer blue line is the perimeter of the nonplaying surface of the pool table. The inner line (outer most) is the playing surface of the pool table. So, there is 60" space all around from the playing...

Or if I could figure out how to get this one home (4 hours away), I would go for the one on ebay right now. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Brunswick-Gold-Crown-III-9-Pool-Table-/171823530167?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item28017b00b7

Hmmm... the mover/seller/refurbisher has a Brunswick GC IV for a decent price with everything included. "IF" I can make room for it, I think that should be the route I go. Here's the description and photo:

Thanks everyone. I did hear back from a local pool mover/restorer/seller in the area. He said to call to ask questions I have. I think I'm also going to tape off the floor downstairs to see what size table would work. ANY size will work depending on positioning of the room, but how stupid would...

Do you think something with a full slate can make it down the stairs? And even if I went with Diamond and/or valley, are there ways a novice can know if things are in good condition? Or should I only buy used through a used selling store?

My husband has dreamed of having a pool table for like forever. We are refinishing our basement and I would love to be able to move on getting a used one which I think is the most sensible thing to do, but the options are overwhelming. I've been stalking this site for a few days, but there are...
