Starrett Parts Dept I wasn't able to find the replacement vial in either of my starrett catalogs so I called their parts dept. this morning just to check the price so I'd know what their worth. Anyway, they have the replacement vials IN STOCK for $12.10 + $8.95 processing fee that includes S+H...

Starret tools I have extra starret vials but I just moved and Im still digging through my pile. I have or had 2 replacement vials for 98-12. I use 1 98-18, 2-98-12's, and two 60" starrett straightedges$$$, but I also see 98-8's in my future.. I'm unpacking/cleaning this week, I'll search for...

rail rubber removal I have had the cushion liner tear out before when removing the cushion but this time I took a different approach that work with absolutely no tearout. I laid all the rails out on sawhorse work tables-8 pool tables worth- 48 rails total. I put laquer thinner in a new 99 cent...

Russian Dave's a smart enough guy that he might be wanting to add a "RKC Gold Crown" to his fleet of Diamonds. Who would have thought all those diamonds and players prefer the RKC GC!!! Probably a bad idea for him because I hear that once you have one RKC GC.......all the other tables are...

I am not familiar with your area but if you have no ties to that area other than pool, and the pool sucks, I'd move the 200 miles to the countries best pool hall town. That's near enough that the economy should at least be similar!!!!! Sounds like a place for a pool person to thrive!!!:) I was...

It Doesn't seem like any of this will be sorted out before the end of the world in 2012!!!!!::eek:

Thanks for all the info , I just wish they would stanardize what the balls are cleaned with!!!

In my past experience I used Aramith ball polish diluted in a spray bottle. Just put the balls in the polisher, spray real light mist over them and spin for 30 seconds, perfect. The only time we needed to apply by hand and wait until dry was on the initial cleaning of that particular ball set...

Mr. Schmidt, thanks for your input. Where do I go to get your 14.1 instructionals? Have you done player reviews on any of your matches with ACCU-STATS? Any 1000 point matches in your future against other top players? Sorry for all the questions.

What do you clean your Aramith balls with? I am finally going to spend some $$$ on a ball polisher. I've been reading the past posts and I've decided to order a single from diamond. My question is why are so many people using random waxes and cleaners on their ball sets. Why would anyone use...

At DCC a couple of years back when they gambled on the one pocket ghost for the most balls in five racks, 75 possible balls, Gabe got 60!!!!!

I was in a practice session with a guy in seattle that put a five pack on me without ever picking up his playing cue. Five 9's on the snap in a row and the sixth time it hung in the jaws. He was up 5-0 and hadn't had to shoot a ball yet!! My coach said "practice your lag"!!!!!

I use a craftsman 2 gallon wet/dry vac. and have had good luck with. I carry the vac in my left hand with a loop of ext cord and work the nozzle with my right, and work my way around the table. I have several attatchments and all of them I spray glued with simonis so the plastic doesn't touch...

As I like to say "a coin-operated amusement device, not to be mistaken for a pool table"-GMG

Just in case anyone is curious as I was, this info is from accu-stats catalog : 1992 US OPEN 14.1 JIMMY FUSCO V GRADY MATHEWS(BILL STATON AND ERVOLINO COMM. TAPE #15SP-02 1992 US OPEN 14.1 DALLAS WEST V MIKE ZUGLAN (BS,GRADY, ERVOLINO) 1995 ROANOKE 1 POCKET #R1P2-04 BUDDY HALL V WADE CRANE(BS...

I have played a couple of years in APA. West coast and Midwest APA. I captained a team to vegas with skill level 2 and 3 players that never could dream of a room with more than six tables!!! It was exciting !! It will probably never happen again for them. One gal was her first session or two...

I also have a black Gold Grown and was too cheap to buy the Diamond light.. I used a pocket hole jig called the Kreig jig available at Lowes for building the faceframes that make up all four sides of the light box. this jig allows for the poplar rails to be connected with butt joints and glue...

I had some luck fixing this same problem on a table when i was on vacation one time. as well as wetting the cloth we used a ball to rub against the rubber to so call "unload" the pinch points that were there. When you rub the ball back and forth down the rail rubber the cloth "pinch load " is...

Thank you guy for all of your info. It won't be necessary to cot off the rubber as it came off much easier than I expected it to. I used lacquer thinner in a squeeze (glue bottle) and ran a small bead of it down the line between the cushion and the liner. I did this several times and let the...
