Wow, that seems kinda odd, I believe the ends of my pedestals were Poplar and the plywood in the center was most likely Maple. It becomes readily apparent when staining, Poplar sucks up the stain and can easily get too dark if not careful where the Maple its seems all of the stain you put on...

" In the middle" is pretty lame, I think "jack it and back it" is even worse. The nits seem to love it though.

This is the dumbest thread on AZB, convince me otherwise.

Just looking thru your pics, you are leaving no stone unturned with that restoration, that table looks like it was pretty rough to start with, really makes me appreciate what pristine candidate that mine was/is. Cant wait to see it when its done.

You can see in the video clip that the OD of the foot is larger than the locknut so I would not be the least bit concerned about that. The downside is that a 3/4" x 16 Heli Coil or Timecert is probably going to be rather expensive.

But if it was only $399 more than you are willing to pay you might consider it???

I hope they are joking about the price, that is not a particularly attractive table, in fact I could say it is butt ugly.

Many years ago my stepfather used to flip a lot of cars. My mom had a 1976 Buick Grand Sport that he was trying to sell, same guy kept coming over to see it but he said it was too expensive. My stepfathers cousin also flipped a lot of cars, he was on the other side of town, the car was sent to...

Wow, that's surprising. I have a GCI with sub-rails modified for current cushion profiles and it has artemis cushions with Simonis 860, it goes 4 1/2 -5 table lengths consistently as do the Diamonds we play on.

Did you ever play on a table with dead cushions and fast cloth? Its a very unusual combination to get used to. We had one by us that the cloth was so fast that you almost had to hit a cushion to get the cue ball to stop. It was a miserable table to play on.

By the same token if a big stroke is weakness shouldnt a short compact stroke be an advantage? Were are all of the players who are developing that short compact stroke for tight pockets??? It appears that even the players who earn a living playing pool have not changed their stroke to...

Its not often you find a Schon without a stainless joint.

Because one can no longer purchase the Monarch profile. If I wasn't tightening the pockets on my GCI i definitely would have kept the Monarch Superspeeds on it, they were in great condition.

I guess Im lucky I got my RADAR unit when they were still available.
