    Those Diamond tables have a lot to live up to. Wonder how they’ll look in 30 years,

    Valley rail bolts/maintenance

    I’ll probably need to call them. Since my table has screws and not the modern bolts ?

    Valley rail bolts/maintenance

    The rails looked original. The table is a 6 1/2 ft. Do these numbers tell what I need ? The U-23 would be the rubber I was thinking, would N-60 be the model rail I need to tell them? Thanks for all the help guys.

    Valley rail bolts/maintenance

    I took the table apart. Found an old nest, bugs, chalk and trash. Pretty gross. I used wood glue on the rail holes and glued a crack on a rail also. I found new screws at the hardware store. It cleaned up pretty well. The bed cloth was rubber backed so the slate looked real nice. We can play...

    Valley rail bolts/maintenance

    They are a Phillips head. They might be screws and not bolts.

    Rail bolts

    They are a Phillips head. If they are wood screws I guess a hardware store might have what I need? I figured they were a type of bolt and the rubber was fastened with screws? I haven’t messed with it yet. I know it could be some tinkering if I need to wood fill holes ? It all feels tight right now.

    Valley rail bolts/maintenance

    This winter I plan to do some maintenance on my valley table, I’m guessing 1963 or so. I’d like to raise the slate and clean it out, I’ll be cleaning and glueing cloth down around the pockets. The rail bolts look real chewed up and I think it’s time to replace those if possible? Are these a...

    Stripped weight bolt head

    I’m not sure what your bolt looks like but… Get a dremmel tool and put a flat disc on it. Carefully grind a nice flat line across the head. Use a good flat screwdriver to remove.

    What Que ball do I need?

    I don’t have to have it I just figured it would be the correct way. If they’re not a good playing ball I can stay with a standard size?

    What Que ball do I need?

    The box is unlocked. All the balls come out the side. I’d like the Que ball to separate and go to the end of the table.

    Rail bolts

    I’m thinking about doing some maintenance this winter on my valley table. It’s around a 1963. The rail bolts look like the heads are really chewed up and bad from years of use. Are these easy to find? I’d like to lift the slate and clean it out. The pocket areas I know need attention as they are...

    What Que ball do I need?

    Hi guys. I’m trying to figure out what Que ball I need? I bought a weighted and that is wrong. I haven’t had time to really crawl under it and try to inspect but I thought you guys might know. The table is a valley, I believe 1963 or so. I figured it’s too old for magnetic. I’m now leaning...

    New Here? - Introduce Yourself
