Hi, All. I have to replace the cushions on a nine foot GC III I just bought. The choices are narrowed down to Championship Tour Edition or Black Diamond. I know many players like Artemis and SuperSpeed, but right now, I want to go with either the Tours or the Diamonds. I've got a good...

Hello Everyone. For the past year, I have been learning all I can about working on pool tables. I'm retired and have plenty of time and tools, plus a couple of tables. As you can imagine....I'm a happy guy! :D I don't have any intention of getting in the business, just enjoy trying to keep...

Water Stain on Simonis I had a similar problem. I tried to remove a small spill of alcohol hand cleaner from my brand new blue/green Gorina Basalt. I used a wet sponge and lightly brushed it back and forth on an area about 4 x 6 inches. Next day, there was a dark spot where I applied the...

The term was coined by Brunswick. It was one of their early cues, made without points, and possibly first built before 1900 Jfe

Recently, I have seen the term "calibrated" used in relation to table setup. What, exactly, does that mean? Thanks for any response. Joe

Cues Staying Straight Fast Lenny, You're on the right track in suspecting that changing moisture content can cause cues to warp. This will be a fairly long read.....my apologies for that. As it relates to wood, the term "moisture content", is a comparison of the weight of the water in a...

fMaidison Rail Bolts Mine were just an all-thread about 2 3/4 or 3 inches in length with a common thread size. You can find something that will work at Home Depot. If you don't have one to use as a sample, I can pull one and give you the specifics. The nuts that were used with mine were only...

Joss Cue Steven, I have two Joss cues and five shafts (four Joss and one 314) I really love the looks and play of both my cues. One factor for you to consider on your deal is the ready availability of Joss or Joss compatible shafts. This is not to say that a replacement shaft can't be had...

Madison CZSteve, I'm not a pool table mechanic, but I am an experienced residential cabinet builder. I bought a used Madison as my first table, and after some reworking and tuning up, I am happy with it. Madisons have good points and bad points. I'll show you how to fix some of the bad...

Stretching the Felt rackcracker, You would do well to purchase a tool known as a "canvas stretcher". It is a pair of pliers with clamping jaws about 2 1/2 inches wide. Since your cloth is short, you will have a hard time gripping it for the stretch without some mechanical aid. I bought my...

Pool tables by diamond Aha. Kudos to you, mrinsatiable, for catching that. I am familiar with the Diamond Pro nine footers, but not the sevens, so the pics didn't tip me off. The seller had three ads on Craigslist, and all three called the items, "pool table by diamond". The location of the...

I just saw on the Dallas craigslist, a bar is closing in the area. They are offering some Diamond tables for sale. They are located about fifty miles northeast of Dallas. If interested, go to craigslist, do a search for Diamond pool table. Right now, (Monday, noon) the add is still close to...

Madison Thanks, JZ. I looked at each pocket, and see that I can adjust the tabs better than they are now, and that will help. Also, I will find a suitable pad for the blinds. Thanks, again, to all. Your comments and advice are very much appreciated. :smile: jfred

Madison Thanks for the inquiry. I haven't been to a bowling alley in a long, long time, so I can't make a comparison to the pin sound. However, I can reach in a corner pocket and whack the blind with a ball, and that is the sound I am referring to. As I see it, the solution is in somehow...

Madison Hi, D-Rock, Thanks for the compliment on the table. The one in the photo is not mine, but is mine is exactly like it other than the cloth. Mine came with blue, and probably will be Simonis green when I do the final install. I'll tell you what, though, that color in the example...

Gentlemen, I just bought my first table, a used Brunswick. I suspect it is about 15 years old. It is 1980's or 90's table, and not the original 1900 era Madison. As I had never set up a table before, I did a fairly complete setup (using the old cloth) as a trial run. Later, I will move the...

table mover Thanks, Jackson. I had already talked to Jeff last week. He spent some time on the phone with me, so when the job comes up, Jeff gets first shot. But, if he is not available at that time, then I will give Shane a call. Thanks, again, to those who responded with references. Joe

table mover Thanks, Randy, I will call him. Joe

:smile:I'm about to buy a used table in the Dallas-Fort Worth Area. If anyone knows a good and reputable person to disassemble it and deliver it to my North Dallas house, please post contact info. Thanks. Joe

Hi, All. Has Brunswick had a Madison in its line in the not so distant past? Or, are all Brunswick Madisons antiques? Thanks for any info. Joe
