I like to keep things original as possible ....but that's just me and it's your table .... I used some wood putty and a stain pen that they make for wood repair and it worked quite well .....to hide some fairly significant defects at the bottom of the legs.....doesn't hurt to try as the stuff...

um ...no there are holes on the top of the slate. These holes /screws hold on the slate backing and also attach the slate to the frame. They are normal and should be there. I don't know why they are not perpendicular..they may have been over drilled at angle to allow tightening of the slate...

no flaming ....just make sure you have a lot of help and breath a lot when moving the slate .....couldn't move for a few days after moving my slate ....and i only have a 9footer .....I came close to passing out a couple of times ....but I only had one other person helping and I had to move it...

that kind of sucks ...and they are opening themselves up to having these distributed on the black market / pirates ..... but what can you do....

I am also noticing that the sights are circular not diamonds ....the two arcades on ebay the 6 leg has circular the 4 leg diamonds .... i think the ultimate would be kling that had the arches on the legs ...like a hybrid kling/arcade ....i wonder if they made one of those.

that's interesting ...maybe it was custom ... here is a 5x10 on ebay with closed rectangle... http://cgi.ebay.com/Vintage-Antique-Brunswick-ARCADE-Billiard-Pool-Table-/120715449669?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1c1b339545 and another in 4 leg.... so I bet the unclosed rectangle was...

comes from this website..... http://www.chicagobilliardmuseum.org/home.html sorry about the pic size ...i fixed it but had to resize myself as I don't know how to imbed the resize ....seems the normal html calls don't work or maybe they do and i'm putting them in wrong.

I would go to this room instead ....but that's just me.:wink:

exactly....

uh oh ...someone might have posted some secrets in this thread....:grin:

I would say that is a good idea ...as there might be more for your money if you make a different/better choice. :wink:

i would guess that it gives a more stable condition as far as temp. and less prone to warp over time

what happens when I go for one of those racks? :wink:

octomom ....nice :) i'd love to move and recover that sucker ....ouch show a pic of a 10' 4 leg ...i'd like to see it ...never have

I would try the e-mail.... btw, thanks for the compliment.....i love the kling model ....I've seen every style and it is my favorite ...maybe the arcade comes close ....anyway I like 4 legs better than 6 ....just gives a cleaner line I think but I don't think they made 10's ... this one should...

here is the answer i got from Brunswick themselves on my 1916 Kling.. "marvin.eisenhauer@brunswickbilliards.com K-66 profile cushion rubber should be used to replace the Monarch on your Kling table. The K-55 profile was not used until about 1960. Marv" of course mine was not modified from a...

what angle did the original subrails have? what angle are they re-tooled to? what is the original and subsequent reasoning behind the answers to my first two questions? it seems like everyone is avoiding the actual facts that we are discussing and I would like to know why.

So I think we really need to know how this table played when it was new. Was there ball hop then? i agree that if the table plays great for years and all of a sudden has a problem especially after it was moved or re-worked, then the cause needs to be investigated and the manufacturer is likely...

If the balls hop then they hop ...that is out of spec ...the rules say no ball hop. it's not a minor problem. I would say diamond should pay for a service on a table that isn't up to spec and can't be calibrated by normal means. but I guess it will make a lot of money for the folks on this...
