This is the nameplate on the headrail. It is a beautifully made table and I am leaning toward keeping it for my self..... but then I have to commit to the cost of recovering it and then I will want NEW pockets, it may need NEW cushions and then also it will totally dominate my garage because...

Does anyone have knowledge of the Acme Pool Table? I'm trying to decide if I want to keep this table myself or possibly sell it.... and I'm not sure what it is worth. I believe it might be from the 1970's to 1980's and I have not been able to find it on the web .... at least .. not yet. :cool...

Using the clues supplied by Macguy I found a Viking cue with a VERY similar design. Check this out.

Thanks for that input Macguy! A couple of my friends suggested that process was probably used but they did not know who might have done it that way since it is so UN-orthodox and different than other known methods of good cue design. I just like the way it looks, myself and I like that it is...

Well ...."Hit Em Hard".... if you are right I guess I overpaid at $50 with the hinged case included....not that it is really that important to me. I bought it on a whim and as a sort of souvenir of my trip to a tournament out there...... then I hit a few balls with it and liked the feel enough...

Cool find! I'm jealous!

I purchased an unusual cue on a whim in a pawn shop in Bakersfield and I like it a lot. I am having the tip replaced and the shaft reconditioned and I started wondering about it's origin. Does anyone recognize this cue? Or does anyone maybe know who could have made it

I have not been posting on here for a while becaue I simply don't have the time I used to...this job is running me ragged! When I saw the comment about a NEW training video Then I saw you went to the talbe to run 50 and talk thru it.... well ... I had to look! Of course you realize now some...

Happy Birtthday Dennis! I had no idea it was your BD....I might have baked a cake! Well probably not a cake, but I would have gone out of my way to have bought you a cold beer. You have one on ice so next time I see ya, I plan to bring it out to ya! No one really knows how much help you have...

Great Run Sasha! Now you should start doing that all the time according to John's story...he he ....seriously though...Congratulations!

Thanks StraightMan for the advise, it has already improved my game a little bit.....here is my next video where I break and run the 1st rack then things will go down hill....:angry: http://www.vimeo.com/12376726 Another note related to this thread.... I played on my APA 8 ball team last night...

A little back ground to give you guys a clue where I think I am in pool. I play in the APA as a Skill Level 6 in 8 ball and a 7 - 8 in 9 ball.(I made it to an 8 twice but fell back to 7 both times, am close to 8 again now.) I started playing 14.1 to improve my cue ball control and also my...

The table does look just like a Brunswick Centennial but is in fact made by Global Billiards in Gardena, California. My friend installs pool tables and I got a good deal on it from him when he replaced a bunch of Global Tables with those new Diamonds. This table plays GREAT! Thanks for the...

My table is in my garage and I installed 3 fixtures which each have 4 x 4' florescent light bulbs. They use those small t-8 20 watt bulbs so they are pretty bright without using a lot of power. I then have that APA table light which I bought from the APA League Operators here in Southern...
