Apologies. I thought you were referencing my cue based on the fact it doesn't have any markings and @David in FL mentioned Jerry remembers it.

While it was cool to have @David in FL report Jerry recalls making my cue, there was never a doubt it was authentic despite the lack of a signature or -R-. I communicated directly with Jerry during the build and I have email documentation regarding specs, finishing aesthetics and progress...

I'm not seeing a team from the UK listed anywhere. https://poolplayers.com/event-year/2001/

I wouldn't buy balls from Amazon. The risk for counterfeit is too high. Why not purchase from a reputable/authorized reseller? There are many of them online. FWIW, I have 16 sets of balls. Tournaments, Centennials, Cyclops, Cosmos, etc. I prefer my Dynashperes Bronze and Rhodium. IMO...

Why does it matter? Are you training for a WNT Tour event? FWIW, Matchroom no longer uses Simonis. You should get CBPA Royal Apex if you are wanting to pretend you are a tour player.

Were the rails original to the table? Is it possible the rails were swapped at some point?

If that were the case, why did Brunswick continue to use the 3 hole, 5 hole and figure 8 nut plates into 1950? Below is a link to the 1949 Brunswick Sport King sell sheet which also includes info on the 1950 model pertinent to the rails. That info is also listed below, mentioning the 5 hole...

The US Open Final will air on ESPN 2.

The only one that comes to mind that might want to take on this kind of job is Mark Gregory. @realkingcobra may be interested in tackling something like this. You are probably better off removing the metal trim and sourcing a local company that Cerakotes. Most powder coating companies have...

I got the email yesterday. I've not checked, but I hope it's on Apple TV.

I wasn't reading it because I was interested in the content, I was reading it out of curiosity to see who would reply to an 18 year old thread and what the reply would be. You're right. 18 years too late is relevant. As you were...

You're 18 years too late.

Now you are shifting gears. You mentioned Shane in the post I quoted you on. I didn't make a blanket statement about all players. I was referencing Shane, "If his expenses aren't covered by his sponsors, they are a tax write off. I'm not sure what percentage can be written off.". It's...
