Rambo car? No w. That's the nick name of the Lamborghini truck..LM something I think.

There are many errors in the Blue Books. I take a lot of it with a grain of salt. I like the pictures. I never had a Blue Book until recently. Now I have 1&2, looking for 3. I do lament the loss of the online Blue Book. I wish that had continued. Rambow car???

Cool! 1966? Adam was formed in 1969 and started production in 1970. These cues with the aluminum Heli-Coil style insert and pointed pins were early first run, first catalog cues. I was lucky to find mine with two original shafts.

I'm simply interested in what the repair techniques might be for the tip of that point. Curiosity more or less.

Yes, as I said in the original post, it needs refinished. It has been relisted. I figured someone would recognize it.

I see what you mean. It leaves me curious. I had always just assumed there was a metal screw in there. Maybe I'll xray mine. If I do, I'll post it.

That Mali was designed to unscrew at that point and came with weights to put there, I believe brass. They had adjustable weights. Some are missing the weights. That's a very different design. The Adam does not unscrew.

Yes, I understand that. I'm not sure what I remember hearing about it. That was before my head injury. There was some big news about the production.

Thanks. Black epoxy. A piece of ebony. Anybody ever use black CA? I've seen it used in guitar repair. Not sure if viable in this case.

I heard 6 or 7 years ago that real shellac was no longer going to be produced. Bad info? Or did it come back?

That looks great. Can we see some close ups? You didn't need to replace the butt cap?

Yes, Adam made and makes good cues. That's why I put "cheap knock off" in quotes. Incidentally I really dig my Adam Rambow. I am not sure what you meant "no metal used in the joints". It's obviously a full splice forearm. Many very high quality short splice cues use a metal screw in the A...

Yes, well, as you indicate it hasn't been a secret. I think the fact that you checked on him rather than just first try to blow up his reputation when he wasn't responding says a lot about your own character. Again, I hope you get satisfaction. Caveat emptor has been proven wise advice many...

Hi Cuemakers! I ran across this, I do not own the cue. The cue needs refinished, standard stuff really, I think, but this one issue made me think to ask a question. I have my ideas but am obviously really just a spectator, so I would love to know what those with experience will say. The tip...

Sad really. I had my suspicions earlier last year when I did some business with him. I didn't lose anything. I got what I paid for, but I was concerned about some additional business and just backed away. I did talk to someone that knows him and they did say that they had their concerns as...
