I'm glad you edited your post. You had no right to come on to a mechanic's forum and say what you did about some of the best mechanics around. These guys all take great pride (to a fault) in the work they do, and being the best. The bickering is ridiculous right now, and lines have been...

All in good fun, except it's constant jabbing all the time and meant to be malicious. Could have been all in fun until a name and phone number were posted. I think that's crossing the line. Look, I like and respect all involved in this little AZ circle of friends. The thing is though, if we...

Thank you Shane. Well said. I've stayed out of this thread lately because I don't want to associate myself with the bickering and name-calling. I respect every one of the guys involved and feel honestly like I could call you all friends. Since my name has been brought into it, Ian, you and I...

I tend to agree with Berko. Do they want bigger pockets, or easier pockets? Easier pockets might just mean correcting the "Olhausen Rattle".

I may be able to help you out if no one else closer chimes in. Feel free to call me and mention this post. There are a few other guys closer to you though if they're willing to travel a little.

I'm headed from Dayton to Wintersville the first week of January. If you don't have it figured out by then, maybe I could take a look at it. I'm thinking it sounds like your bolts are too long though.

Thanks, Pat! Merry Christmas to you too. I hope everyone had a safe and enjoyable Christmas.

Assuming the table was levelled right in the first place, there should be at least one corner of the table as low as it will go. Depending on the settling, you could drop your high spots, or if they won't drop any more, then raise your lows. You want the table as stable as possible, so you...

The BCA specs are given as a range because not all floors are level. (None of them are). To compensate for that, one end of the playing surface will be higher than the other off the floor.

Let's hope Kevin Bacon is in good health!!!

The other option, although not ideal, is to be as careful as possible, but not to worry too much about staining the cloth. After all, the cloth will wear out over time and be replaced eventually. The best way, like these guys said is to finish the rails before the cloth. Let us know what you...

What Donnie is getting at is there are other aspects of the table that make it play good. Starting from the ground up, if your frame is not solid, you may get some movement. I've seen tables that if you lean against them, they feel like they will fall over. A weak frame can also sag under...

You should consider upgrading to an Artemis K66 profile cushion. Your rails may need some modification to be able to accept the cushion at the right height and angle to play at its best. Yes, you're looking at a lot of work, and something you'll need to hire someone with the proper training to...

No disrespect, but there's a little misinformation here. You would most likely not be able to r-use your rail cloth because it was stretched and trimmed on top and bottom, so you won't have enough to grip and stretch properly. Also, the speed in Simonis from slow to fast goes 860, 860HR...

To get an accurate quote, we'll need to know what area the table is now and where you need it moved to. Since Diamond makes more than one model, and some are 1-piece slate and others are 3-piece, we'll need to know what model it is as that can make a big difference in who can move it and how...

I'm thinking they were around $229 new.

Almost looks like an old, old Valley. Is that the only picture you have?

I texted him to let him know about this post. Said he's been without a cell phone. He should pop on to update.

Agreed. If you want a GC, get a GC or you'll be disappointed. Both of the tables you linked to are entry level problematic tables. Hold out for what you really want.

The electric staplers are much more expensive, they do jam more often and require more maintenance than air staplers. With air, you can also adjust the pressure for different materials, so it is a little more versatile.
