    Felts ???

    Re-using Simonis 860 Cloth

    As long as it wasnt folded you should be okay. If its been folded up for ten years its going to have lines in it that will never go away. Also check the pockets slits for large tares. ive never heard of anyone acutally dry cleaning it :confused:. it is worsted wool so that might actually...

    8 foot Kasson Voyager

    Buy some new pockets. Leather pockets (about $200) are the quietest but are more expensive than even a top quality aftermarket rubber drop pocket($79). Cheap plastic pockets are terrible, they are loud & brittle. Ive had boxes come in 80% of the sets having at least one cracked pocket. Now im...

    Can anyone ID my table?

    To state the obvious you have an old AMF. Their billiard division went under a few years back. It looks like its from late 60s or 70s. Cool old table sir.

    Cloth installation

    That kind of reminds me of that masked magician showing how they do magic tricks on FOX or whatever like 10 years ago. Even just being shown [on a video] how to do it wont make you do a good job on it. i know handy people that have been on the job for months that CAN do it but arnt very good...

    Bar table Titan cloth.

    Most the vendors i deal with like the backed 20oz championship, bar owners usually dont care, ill price them out for backed cloth and if they squeal about the price ill drop it and throw unbacked championship on there. SD is right it is a lot slower, but it is also more durable. dont get...

    Does this table need new cushions?

    Im leaving room in case they dont hit the ball like they are breaking. A dead rail wont move 1.5 no matter how hard you hit it.

    Does this table need new cushions?

    Cant tell Sometimes you cant even tell if the cloth is off the table. put a ball on the table, hit pretty hard against a rail and it should bounce rail to rail at least 3 times side to side, 2-3 times long ways. feel the rubber with your hand to for any hard spots, sometimes only 1/2 the...
