Still no contact. They're out looking for him.

There's still no contact. They're headed out to look for him.

Johnny posted around midnight that he was stuck in the snow out on highway 18 west, somewhere near Otterbein Indiana, west of I65. The authorities say no help will be coming tonight. There is a private vehicle ready to go out ,15 minutes away, but they don't know right where he is, and don't...

I would have to agree. It was impressive of them to completely replace the table. Did you , by chance, buy the table at Costco? In our area, Costco sells American Heritage pool tables, and makes sure that manufacturers of their products step up to the plate with the best customer service should...

Have a pro move it for you with the Diamond dolly, if that's an option. If you got a great deal, it's worth it to make sure it stays in nice shape. We moved 7 of them by removing the legs, and tilting the table on to a 4 wheel dolly. We broke a few legs, and crushed several dollies with the...

The pockets are held on by bolts, or screws, one on each 'arm' of the pocket, which fit into the end of the rail. They go up from the bottom of the rail, and into the pocket arm. One of yours has probably just come loose a little. Some tables have slates that are cut so that you can reach the...

I have 2 9 foot Pros that have ball returns. They were purchased in 2000, and I think it was a $400 option at the time. They came with a ball box that has separate sections on each side for one pocket. The returns appear similar to the GC in that they are black and rubber coated. There are 2...

well, I guess technically he doesn't live here since he moved to Vegas recently, but Jesse Allred is the man and then some for this. Check out the youtube love for him :)

I've seen that happen many times, to myself included. I've loved pool all of my adult life, but I find myself not playing nearly as much as i used to. The old adage is, "if you take your hobby and make it your job, you'll have to find another hobby". You can still play, and I don't agree that...

Chalk box I have one that I bought out of a closed room. It has 2 coin mechs and vends chalk in one spot, and hand talc in the other. You can have it for $75 plus whatever the shipping is if you want. It's pretty good sized, so it could be quite a bit. I've never used it, although I know they...

I miss 'Lock' also, and wish he'd come around once in a while. It was fun being part of a group that didn't have meetings or dues. Plus, you didn't have to be all of those things! It was, in Lock's own words, "a society of people that play good pool and are teachers of pool to people who want to...

Sure, this cue might lop my head off, but it's still a McDermott. I'm much more scared of the guy with the Fellini case and the 25 year old plain Szamboti or South West inside.

Wow. Talk about 'dropping the big one'. That thing is a treasure.

I think it was. It would have loosened up a bit with play over the last 15 years, but if it seemed glued at all, I would expect it was. I hope someone chimes in here and tells us what the best thing to do is when someone before you glues the entire slate surface. Oregon and Texas can't be the...

From your pics and descriptions would say that someone at some point installed the bed cloth by gluing the whole surface. That's disappointing. Was the whole bed cloth glued when you took it apart? That backed cloth that was on it may have actually helped you, as I think it would be even worse...
