My St Bernard lap dog Kira, she is small at 130lbs but enjoys watching pool with me or watching me play as well. She did chew off a cross member of my Brunswick players chair but I forgave her.

I am willing to trade my original drop pockets plus $ for a complete ball return system that will fit my Brunswick sport king I am located in Massachusetts would like to travel within reason as I know shipping is a lot Thanks -Shawn

Hi thanks to all the information I’ve received through this site. I have a great playing 9’ sport king but i think I want to put in a ball return setup. I know shipping on these are crazy so I’ve been looking on CL and FB for a beat up old table with a return but I’m not sure what will fit. I’m...

Hi my lovely St Bernard decided to make my chair a chew toy. I’m pretty handy but I wanted to know if anyone has refinished one. I bought it on Craigslist for $150 and I wanted to change it to a mahogany anyway. Is there any veneer or does anyone know what wood this is made from so I get a...

Done I finally finished my basement so whole family can enjoy, treadmill for Mrs., Xbox for one and tv for other and sport king for me. It took a while to plan out and a whole lots of time to do it myself (except plastering) but I’m happy with results. I had to paint the concrete walls to a...

I tried a different approach that I built over 20 years ago for my father. I used threaded rod and nuts and installed into a shelf. I did have to enlarge the holes in the beads with a drill, but no age and the threads keep the beads in place and move smoother than u might think Sorry it's...

Great table do what makes you happy I scored one of these as well, not bragging but for free!! Anyway I painted the dog poop legs and urine skirts a nice semi gloss black with clear over it I stained the ball box mahogany. Cleaned the original rails really well and applied glycerin...

I recently acquired a vintage Brunswick Collander 12 cue rack. There are two metal pieces on either side that seemed to hold a locking bar. Was this a factory option or accessory? The metal on the left side wraps around the contour and has a hole for a rod. The right hand side piece has a...

more pics I looked at the brunswick site and the legs didnt match anything.I think some hack work was done with new legs and a diiferent stain on the bottom part. Just trying to figure what it is and trying to help a good charity out

My friend wants to get rid of this table. It is in rough shape, but I want to know what the table is, and if it is worth something to the right person. I think it is a yorktown with replacement legs Any help would be great-thanks Shawn

Win either way I was lucky enough to get a Sport king for free on craigslist and You cant beat this site for info. I kept the original cushions cleaned them up and put glycerin to help refresh the rubber. I had the pockets double shimmed and Simonis 860 cloth, and painted everything black...

Great table I have a sportking table that plays better than my brothers GC3! The original rails are great after 50 years. I painted the bottom frame and lower skirts semi-gloss black-the brown is awful! I have no paneling on my table, probably someone who tried to make it match the paneling in...

New Bedford Wow that brought back memories of a small pool hall in New Bedford area I played in once-over twenty years ago! I remember going upstairs to only 10-15 tables tops. Nothing but an old guy that reliogously brushed down every table after someone left. I dont dare go back and try to...
