    Old Gold Crown 3 Possible Restoration

    Hi, thank you I will have a look. They want 3K AUD but I am trying to get them down. I am guessing it will take a minimum of 3K to get it transported and then the body restored with new cloth and cushions. So I will be in for at least 6K, possibly more if i get any surprises..

    cue maker question

    Yes in normal times, but you have no idea what position the company is in and how large their backlog is and how many customers they need to contact and what their human resources are. There might be one old guy sitting in the office with his head in his hands with no idea how to do the simplest...

    Can you play decent pool using both your right and left hands?

    I would give my right arm to be ambidextrous. Back in the day it was frowned upon to be left handed. Joe Davis the 21 time world snooker champion insisted that his younger brother Fred Davis who was left handed learn how to play right handed from an early age. Fred went on to become both a...
