Here's the reply I received from the BCA about the topic: Tables always have a head rail (where the nameplate is) and a foot rail (opposite end from the nameplate). No manufacturer, to my knowledge, has ever designated the other rails as left or right. There is usually some type of number...

Anytime I've ordered, for example, a replacement rail from a manufacturer, it has always been determined by standing at the side pocket. The rail on your left is a left rail and on your right is a right rail. Hence, 2 left rails, 2 right rails and 2 end rails, one being the head with name...

No idea in your market there. However, there are a couple of companies in the same listings that are offering their services so, you may check into one of them for rates. It will still be considerably lower than a new table right?!?!?!

I notice a few Olhausen's on DC's craigslist.com. Check it out to see if any are still available: http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/search/sss?query=pool%20table Robin

That's some serious dedication to your dream table but, should be worth it to you. On the 2" slate, all I can say is, better you than me! Ouch....Been there and done that and it ain't fun! Post some pictures if you would. I for one would like to see this monster.

"What can you tell me about AMFast cushion rubber?" Larry - AMFast cushions are nothing more than AMF's version and forumla for cushions. Just as Olhausen has "Accu-Fast" and Brunswick has "Super-Speed". They are their own trade marks on cushions is all. I use to own an AMF Playmaster years...

I'd think 18-20 torque pounds would be sufficient for nut plates and something less for other methods. Like a disc that is screwed into a recessed area would not handle that much torque. I generally back off and just snug them up especially when they have the crown lock washers that bite the...

Isn't following hacks great? I moved to NC 3 years ago and have been in "clean-up mode" on a quite a few jobs. Not all but, some are simply awful and every corner was cut and you could tell they were done by some newbies. I'm a big man....hand tight WITH a speed wrench may have a different...

Agreed! I have yet to come across a single cross threaded floating nut plate but, have a multitude of other plates, barrell inserts, etc.....lucky? Perhaps! And perhaps it's the rookies in this occupation you refer to? They are actually very simple to install by a little jiggle to start the...

Thanks for the visual!! LMAO!!

Isn't this suppose to be an open forum there sparkie? I just joined this place last month and really do need the pros & cons (for a manufacturer) from tehcnicians (such as yourself) around the country and not just my own opinion. I see Glen mentioned it's been posted once before and I spent...

Flawless so far.... I have nothing favorable to say about these tables or this company any longer so, I've retracted my review from 2007. I now bite my tongue and say nothing.

Whoa... everyone at a loss for words? Lots of views and no feedback! I've seen some great advise here in my short tenure but, no one has an opinion, pro or con on this attachment method vs. other traditional t-nuts, barrell inserts, etc.???? I'm :confused:

I need your valued & educated opinions on the following topic: I'm a HUGE fan of the "floating nut-plate" system for attaching rails to the bed of a table. I think it was the best engineering development for pool tables in the last 20 years. It allows for much more torque when setting rails...

Donny - I just left there Tuesday or would have been happy to help. When is your customer moving? I'll be back there at the end of the year....

Alan - I'm in NC (just North of Charlotte) and yes, very few homes have basements. They do have bonus rooms, usually located above garages. My home has one and I wouldn't feel safe having any table over 7' on that floor with the "bounce" as you describe. It's over a two car garage and no...

http://www.poolfelt.com/valley_coin_op_table_parts.html Right from Dartman! ^ that guy up there ^ that answered you first....if I'm not mistaken, Valley and Dynamo are interchangeable right Rick??? I've been mistaken before so ask the man....

CL Bailey's "were" made in Missouri; not far from where AMF Playmaster and Renaissance were made in Bland, MO. Chuck Bailey started Playmaster and then eventually sold out to AMF. After a 7 year non-compete agreement expired (alomost to the day), he introduced his new line along with Fisher's...

You do some nice work Mr Madden! Took a look at them all......very impressive!

Very nice simple cue Remy! Love that finish he puts on them too. Mine are both over 14 years young and still straight as day 1. Congrats on getting a fine cue from a genuinely nice guy and a Master cue maker!
