    subrail angle?????

    After measuring and inspecting your rails I can assure you that the liner bevel angle of 23 degrees is wrong. The first dead giveaway is that the cushion in not mounted flush with the top of the rail liner. I understand why you did this, because mounting the cushion flush would have brought your...

    Hey John, It's a long story, but I purchased a centennial from a customer off Craig's list. After giving a deposit and setting up a time for removal of the table, the customer "claims" to have had a change of heart about selling the table. I was just verifying if he had possibly sold the table...

    Hey John, Did this table have a ball return system? Do you know if this table came from Bedford NH? I have a very good reason for asking. Thanks Jay

    What is this....ABIA: American Billiard Installers Association

    Chris, I just did a search on goggle for this "association" with NO MATCHING RESULTS! This smells very fishy to me. Tom Jenkins does NOT ring a bell with anyone I know in the billiards industry. Jay

    subrail angle?????

    Well stated by Dead Crab. It can be difficult to fit up new cushions on "T" rail tables because you have some variables that can potentially effect the final playing surface. Such as If the wooden rail liners are not uniformly attached to the vertical surface of the rail (between the feather...

    subrail angle?????

    There are several things that can lead to the condition you're describing. The first issue is the pitch angle on the finished cushion. That is the downward angle of the topside of the cushion relative to the impact of the ball into the cushion. Second is the coefficient of friction of the ball...

    Cushions with Bad Odor

    Donny, Is the smell like rubber or more like vomit? I've run into the same situation where the cushions smell like vomit or rotten food or bad foot smell. Try lacquer thinner on a rag, wipe them down throughly and let them dry 25 minutes, if necessary repeat the process. This should take care...

    Need help with light

    Baker staging, available at most rental stores. It's 6 ft wide and has wheels that lock. Use a plumb bob or laser to mark out the ceiling bolt locations. Hang your lengths of chain from the ceiling hooks. Then place your fixture across the baker stage and attach to the hooks/eyelet bolts on the...

    A few job pix ...

    Jack, Your work confirms for me that it isn't the number of years or tables that a mechanic has under his belt, it's the proper application of knowledge. Outstanding work! It's amazing what 3 days with Glen and an open mind will yield. Jay

    Gc ii pockets

    Hey Glen, The GC IV pocket liners will not line up with the existing ball track. The lower half of the liners on the IV's are longer and the exit angles are different. You will need the older style liners or you can convert to a drop pocket which will fit perfectly. I have some new sets of the...

    Getting pockets tightened on New Table?

    For clarification, I was suggesting the REMOVAL of the factory facing then applying the exact same facing (3/16 or 1/4 in. neoprene) you have on your Diamond Pro. Rail extensions would require removal of the cushion and add several hundred dollars to the initial cost of a "basic model table"...
