    Over sized playing area?

    Did they use the Intercontinental 66,? which is a k55 profile. If they used the regular 66 its an eighth of an inch narrower. This could explain the different dimensions. Jay

    Gold Crown questions

    The Gold Crown 5 is available in a tournament edition with 4.5 inch corners and 5 inch side pocket openings. I agree with the other mechanics advise to have the pockets tightened properly, you'll need to extend the wood on the sub rails. Also remember to adjust the throat angles from 144 to...

    Slate Installation on Heated Carom table

    Value of used 7' and 9' Tables

    Hi Bob, In my experience, Diamond tables have a higher resale value than any other new table on the market. For example, if you purchased a new 9 ft Pro Am for $5500.00 and you had that table delivered and installed for $1300.00 your only depreciation would be the wear and tear on the simonis...

    ball return

    Very simple fix, remove the pivot bolt on both ends of the metal ball tray. That's the brown metal arm that flips the balls down. It should come out with two allen head machine screws located at the center point of the tray. Then simply remove the assembly in one piece and the balls will...

    How tight is too tight for cloth?

    Glen, I'm still waiting for you conical number 3 irons we talked about 7 years ago. That would be the real solution to this issue on all these home tables. The best part would be the years of retro fit work. No more split out ends on the rail bottoms, no more cross threaded ears, no more...

    How tight is too tight for cloth?

    Glen, Almost all the manufacturers building home style tables with leather net pockets use the number 6 irons. Unfortunately, the raw irons are very crude and poorly manufactured compared to the original castings. The other factor is that the modern manufacturers are using a thinner rail cap...
