Maybe we should take a second look........ The OP caused me to look around the room a little closer. Our bridge sticks (two to a table) were filthy! 50 minutes later and they are now all clean. The little things are just as important as the big things. Customers notice even if nothing is said...

One way tourny winners The other shooters are going to start complaining and you will see a drop in entries. This may be softened a bit if Mr. Winner is slick enough to make sure everyone has a good time while he fleeces them. However, it is bad for your room. I would very nicely tell him he...

To K2Kraze It is going to be a rare room that will be able to give you what you want. The cost of providing all the amenities that you may have in your home just are not be in the real world. Some (most?) room owners just don't care, while others can not realistically do all those ideal things...

Room owner answers 1. Roughly, $500 - $600 for a recover - does not include extra repairs. 8'-9' tables. Depends on cloth and mechanics fees which vary by region. 2. We use Championship Pro Tour cloth. Same price as the 860 HR. IMO both are top flight and give excellent results plus value. 3...

If you snooze you lose Awwwww - one should never put off getting on the forum. I'll just cry myself to sleep in my little trundle bed tonight. Maybe I can get in on the next lottery! Nice gesture. :) Big Al

Whoknowsit, Inc. pool tables Roberto, you really caught me off guard with that one! I searched the internet like crazy looking for Whoknowsit, Inc. - I just had to find out about that brand. I was so intent on the tables I didn't get your meaning. HaHaHa. By the way, do think the Real King...

Pool time in St. Louis, MO USA We charge $4.25 per hour per person or you can rent the table for a flat rate of $12.00 per hour and include as many players as you wish. These prices include a sales tax. By the way, the pricing is prorated - if you only play for 45 minutes the dollar amount is...

Some years ago, when the BCA show was relevent, an Asian manufacturer had a full display of cues. Someone from Schon scooped up an arm full of selected cues, handed the booth operator a business card and told him to talk to Schon's lawyer if he had any problems with him taking them. I would say...

Wow! Jeff, is that your table? It sure is a beauty. Big Al

How can this lost info be retrieved? I am a cue repairnoid. It takes all my might to keep from jumping into the cuemaker endiver. I am enthalled by the cuemaker's interchanges. The insight into the deep details as these guys were talking about adds to a general knowledge for the unwashed. A...

I am not a cue maker but I do repairs. The Harbor Fright has a 20mm pass through - it can handle tips but that is about all, at least in a direct way. I believe you only have a 10" bed to work in and that is really limiting. Big Al

This is cruel. You are like Lucy pulling the football out. :nanner: Big Al

This is an important family in cue making. Their influences were mostly on the East coast. I don't feel many people in other parts of the country are aware their efforts. Thank you for making more folks informed about them and cause more information to come forward. Big Al

I've seen a couple of Porper setups mounted on a heavy steel plate to which all legs come to rest on the same plane keeping the bed tubes in alignment. This seems to keep the tail piece in line. I am not a cuemaker but do repairs. I mention this because the lathe owners told me that was the...

Schmidt tables from the 60's I am not a table mechanic. However, my business (Affton Billiards) has had four of these tables in service since 1962. Our tables are a different than your picture shows, but my Comet models are built on the same frame. These are "T" rail type tables, meaning the...

Don't forget the duct tape I've found that if you rough up the surface of the duct tape that is used for repairing tears it blends right in with the dye. Also, if you put the Rit dye in all the beverages you serve the spilled drinks hardly show at all. I would think it is best to take out half...

I've done some further research (the fine references in Mr. Bond's Chicago Billiard Museum). The manual for the Gold Crown mentions the slate edges should be sanded down to take off sharp corners. Although the tables I'm referring to are of a different and newer manufacturer, it appears this...

Thanks to all that posted. The problems I had were with two tables of the same brand. The slate on the side pockets have very crisp edges. I think the cloth did not slide smoothly on the stretch at the cut out causing the shadows and interference with the balls path. I managed to get the funny...

I recently recovered a bunch of tables. Two of them have stretch marks by the side pockets and the roll of the balls are not true. It almost looks like the gag off balance balls. Would re-stretching the cloth allow the weave to go back in place (Championship Tour Edition)? Big Al
