Wanted: Meucci shaft, 70s era. Ideally, looking for something from the brass pin days, at least 12.5 mm, straight, with original ferrule. Joint is .8215" which I believe is pretty standard Meucci. Thanks.

[Sold] Jump-Break cue - cheap SOLD J&J / Kaiser Jump-Break cue. Used, but in decent condition. There are visible marks in butt and jump handle, you can see in the pics, but you can't really feel them. The shaft is dentless. The original short ferrule-tip combo was replaced with a G10...

These will work well for George / GTF etc 1x2, but I don't know if they'll fit 2x4. You can get them free from the USPS. https://store.usps.com/store/product/shipping-supplies/dual-use-priority-mailpriority-mail-express-medium-tube-P_O_1098M

My thoughts exactly. The Schmelke I ordered had a problem, and David went above and beyond to make it right. Made me whole a new cue and shaft, shipped it fast. Amazing, considering it was a simple no-logo sneaky for $125. Compare that to the cornholing I've received from a touted local...

[Sold] Schon shaft, silver ring, 29" 12.8mm SOLD Schon shaft - 29” 12.8mm. Light play, purchased from Nielsens last year, just as a backup. A really tiny amount of taper roll, nothing I ever noticed. I can send a video of it - send me a PM. 29”, 12.8mm, 4.20 oz. Silver ring. .8415”...

(SOLD) Predator 314-2, 12.5mm, Uniloc - cheap **SOLD** Predator 314-2 shaft, 12.5mm, Uniloc joint. Selling for a friend. Purchased from Seyberts with a P3 in May 2016, ordered as 12.5mm. A month later, during a 2-day tournament, the ferrule slipped off (no threads from Predator). She...

Thanks a lot Bumlak and Chopdoc for the replies, great info here.

Was purchased in Taiwan, more than 35 years ago. Biagio was my only guess, based on rings, joint, and age. Any info or even guesses, are appreciated.

Maybe an obvious question, but do you chalk with your bridge hand? I chalk with my back hand, per shot - while I do have to wipe down my linen wrap often, I don't ever get a blue hand from the table. Daily play w/ brush after, vacuum every 1-2 weeks.

Sent you a PM.

Agree, 1/4" shims make the pockets play funny - not just a little, it's quite noticeable. In my case I was restoring an old table I'd never played before, and didn't know if I'd like it. So I couldn't justify the expense of shipping the rails to someone, or getting a specialist to travel...

OP asked for medium-soft. IMO Triangle or LePro may not qualify; certainly not WB. If the Ki-Tech's don't work out: Pooldawg's MilkDuds are great, but for something a bit softer, but not super-soft like Elkmaster, try the milkduds used by Schmelke. Not advertised on their site, you'll have to...

I had to replace the original Blue Mountain on an old cue - it was so nice and smooth. I don't have a pile of cues to compare to, but I wanted it like a Schon - about that amount of smooth. I ordered a small spool of Atlas' current Blue Mountain, and a spool of their Hurlbert. After reading...

After reading comments here, I was quite reluctant to send my MO 84-4 to Meucci for a refinish. Stories of long waits, cues never returned, etc. I had every reason to send to Proficient instead. But I sent to Meucci anyway. My experience was excellent. Returned in 2 months, excellent...

If you have to do normal LTL, check around and see which cross-country carriers are likely to have the fewest stops / offload-reloads during the trip, least possibility for damage that way. Way it was described to me was that a faster trip meant more handlings, whereas certain carriers would...

Wow, that's trick. Tons of work, I'm sure. All I see are the hours spent on it. Even if I were playing on it, if it was hard on my eyes I don't think I'd notice much, I'd be admiring the work the whole time.

I think you can fill it with Cyanoacrylate (Super Glue), build it up, then wet sand it or something. Read about the process somewhere here, you should be able to find in a search. Good luck.

The long tubes do have a little sag in them, maybe 1", 1.5" max. But they still fit tight in both ends, there's no risk of them slipping out of the collector box, and at the pocket end, there's no dip as the balls exit the gully and enter the tube. So, I figured maybe the sag was as built...

Thanks for the kind words. Yes, it is sweet. There were times I thought it would never be done. And, a moment or two along the way I was almost too scared to proceed.

Maybe more appropriate for a Gallery, but I'm really just posting to say thanks for the help. This is a 1935 Brunswick Challenger, 8.5'. Thanks to Joel from Century Billiards for the cushion / re-felt work, and his patience with all my questions throughout. I still owe him a great Yelp...
