    phenolic balls all equal?

    Thanks. I wish my accident was a cooler story to tell though actually, skydiving, race car crash, crossing the grand canyon on a flying motorcycle with rockets attached maybe... Rollerblading with the dog and crashing into the store parking lot seems pretty lame.:frown:

    Ripped off on ebay - am I protected?

    You have to follow their bs routine and do it exactly as they tell you, paypal or ebay whatever it says to do nowadays. It's been a long time, but I had a problem a while back and recall some crap like I had to wait 30 days after I paid to do anything at all, to be sure it wasn't just slow...

    Another Gold Crown Identy.....Please! (lots of pics)

    Good buy op, I watched that table auction and couldn't believe it sold for that. I got a similar deal on the same model table which is model number AR6100 on that tag you couldn't read, but mine was in way worse shape than yours if you can imagine that. Paid $150 for mine, a 64 gold crown with...

    Women vs Men

    I've heard about Jasmin playing in the mens tournaments in Europe, but haven't had a chance to see any of those tournaments or tour or whatever it is. Are there any of these European open matches posted online somewhere? (free though, not ppv) Maybe it's just that I don't know what search term...

    Does your local pool hall have 2 free to enter,

    Ok thanks, that explains why I never heard of it. Not exactly anywhere close for me. :)

    Thanks, I think I'm set for cloth now for a while at least. Just received the used simonis from goldcrown4 today actually and JB Cases offered to make me his guinea pig with brand new Milliken Super Pro cloth to see how that holds up against repititious heavy wear like this thread was actually...

    No, but you never said where this place even is.

    New table information

    Cool they're not a bad table by any means. But how is 20 minutes even possible? You must have removed the cloth with scizzors or a knife, skipped all the staples, not had to dig screws out from under putty or bondo, and had some power tools. That's cheating. :D

    I'm more intrigued by his Brunsrock table that only has side pockets and no cushions to bank off of. Brutal!

    Haha Iowa, I'm in the middle of a big suburb now but i know what it's like to live in the country. Grew up isolated by farms a bit as a kid in more rural Oregon outside Eugene, but atm I may as well be in the middle of nowhere. :) Yea there is something to be gained from being able to still get...

    Island Drive, you're right, but I get bored spending so much time at home so if all I have to play on is garbage like I have, or better yet used simonis that isn't quite up to snuff like new then something is better than nothing. Even just working on the table has provided me more fun than the...

    Livestreaming: Bar tables • 9 foot tables

    I like to watch 8 9 or 10ball on 9' tables. Don't care at all about watching anything on a 7' table... It would be fun to see local tournaments with people I know on free streaming, even if it were just on the myriad of tv's at the event so you can see more of what your opponents or friends are...

    The King has left the building

    Cool, lucky guy... That would have been the 2004 WPBA Nationals November 11 - 14, 2004. Chinook Winds Casino Lincoln City, OR Just for history's sake, in case you're interested... This is who was there and probably a good few of these girls played on your table... 1st place Karen Corr...

    You've got to be pulling my leg. But uh, of course is my answer! Pm on the way. Damn, thanks isn't enough, I'm speachless! :thumbup:

    phenolic balls all equal?

    Thanks guys, I appreciate the help and encouragement. I just wanted one bad enough to do whatever it took to get it, and I knew I wanted one that was pretty flawless and just couldn't afford that, so figured I'd make whatever I could get over until it looked like I wanted. I saved and looked on...

    phenolic balls all equal?

    Some metalwork.. All the castings were painted and scratched to hell way beyond the old original nickel plating or whatever it was. All metal, feet too, were sanded with 80 grit to remove all scratches and paint and then polished up to ~600 grit. Nothing perfect or much to brag about here, but I...

    phenolic balls all equal?

    OK nobody laugh, but here are a couple pics just to show what I'm talking about in regards to having saved a "dirt cheap DEAD gold crown" and the cloth I'm talking about dealing with now... As you can see it's not much of a table with two corners that were totally broken, most would have...

    Wow this is a whole lot of unexpected help. You guys are great! I'll let you know, if it works out with the guy in hillsboro then I should go that route, so there's no shipping costs involved. But since you have a pool room and are offerring to help... Goldcrown4 is the user sending that used...

    phenolic balls all equal?

    Island drive, I haven't received the "new used cloth" yet, I'm still on the slow stuff this table had on it originally. An icerink would be very much prefferable to the old cloth I'm on now, but I'll keep that in mind and not expect perfection from the simonis then. Scratchs thank you, but I'm...

    I'm in Beaverton, edge of hillsboro... Thanks guys. I wasn't looking for a handout, but I'm in no position to turn it down if you really do have a set you honestly don't need or want anymore. My budget atm is zero, but given a month or so when I'm a little more out of debt then I could get some...
