One to remember at the end of your rails restoration are the aiming sights... sand too much and they get so thin you can crack them with your finger nail. I haven't done it yet because it will cost around $200 but I'm replacing my mother-of-pearl sights (that aren't in the rails anymore) with...

Could you PM me a shipping address please? or post here in a reply. I couldn't find it on the website. My wife was cleaning the basement yesterday and I rediscovered the cushion JZ sent back to me as noted in a much older post above. Monarch type.

+1 ... Love the Anni... very comfortable table to play on, classic, timeless... everyone who owns one will always sing its praises.

Now there's a treasure for someone's vintage billiard room. Thanks for the post!

Side Table Ideas... Simonis posted this photo on Facebook this morning... REALLY cool idea... just in case you somehow ran out of any ideas of your own. I haven't been on AZB in quite awhile... other projects and family matters consuming me but it is so nice to revisit this thread and see all...

As another poster mentioned, with no stretcher, the model year is closer to the first year it was released, 1946, further evidenced by the lack of side pocket castings. Remember though that there's a difference between refurbishing and restoring. You can make this a better looking and sturdier...

Did I ever send you my Monarch cushion section?

I think Mr. Bond's idea is the best one yet. Interviewing all the greats that are still alive, that played against all the greats that are no longer with us to get those stories too. (My thought was a behind the scenes in-depth "investigation" of sorts behind the rise and fall of the IPT, all...

Signs Is that a sign for Dad's Rootbeer on that wall?

David, weren't you working on an Anniversary? Did Glen ever come back to finish?

Just so happens I asked jack z to send me one of my old original cushions back removed from my anni rails, specifically with the label intact, after he put the artemis on. I had intentions of incorporating it into some kind of shadow box but since you posted this thread, it may have found a new...

Superb restoration! Centennials are just loaded with class. I've been debating about picking up another Anni to restore and sell, but I haven't seen it yet.

Ken, I see you managed to snag a Diamond style triangle. Did you buy it direct from them?

Sad is right... for players, that used to be a great place to go. Servers would bring drinks in, and wipe the table rails as they went by. Kinda forgot about First Break... smaller place, but that is where the more serious players would end up... even early on Sunday mornings! Tell me, is...

Breakers is where I used to shoot in one of three leagues. Before the owners sold (Rob and the late Bob Casteel), they had all 9 ft 6 legged Connolly Ultimates (2 inch slate versions). After change of ownership, it is my understanding they have all Gold Crowns now, and it's more of a nightclub...
