    Simonis 860

    That's like one of those 3D posters that I never could see no matter how much I crossed my eyes. LOL But seriously, I can faintly see the area you're talking about. Have you sent that picture to the manufacturer for their opinion?

    Gem I found locally!

    Nice find for that price! Where are you located, so you might get some info about who can tighten your pockets, and who might be interested in the plastic skirt?

    Table quality

    There are some quality issues. I have noticed some things with the Costco tables. No surprise since they're being sold from a bulk/discount retailer that the table would be made to keep the cost down. All in all though, not a bad import and the ones I've been able to follow up on seemed to...

    Not as long as the one I just took to Canada, mister. ;)

    Just bringing it up if no other option presents itself and the OP doesn't want to ship his rails.

    Since Simonis won't sell the dvd's

    The poolfelt.com method will work for some tables, but may give you fits closing in your side pockets on backed slate tables. Not the same method as the DVD's, but give newbie DIYers something to go by. The YouTube video shows the Simonis method but obviously doesn't go into the step by step...

    Cloth installation

    By the way, to answer the original question, I'm not very impressed with this video. It doesn't show anything really. I like the pocket liners that RKC, myself, and many other guys on here use better than the ones he used in the video. With the technique in the video, you'll either end up...

    Cloth installation

    Well, I'm sure with you're approach, you'll get plenty of help from the guys in the know. ;) Was I able to match your sarcasm? It's been said before, and obviously you can tell...it ain't rocket science. Go get you a couple tools and a couple hours and I'm sure you can do just as good as...

    Help Please

    Penguin brand rails are a great Valley replacement rail. Ridgeback Rails are the nuts for a great playing rail with some additional feature upgrades. Don't bother with trying to replace the rubber on the original rails with a K66. Those rails take a different profile rubber, so with the...

    Recent Rail Rebuild, b

    That's kind of what I was thinking. At least they made a good attempt, but it sucks to think what someone paid to have that work done incorrectly. Great looking fix Donny. Not like I need to ask, but how does it play? ;)

    Installing Worsted Wool Cloth

    Yes, this DVD is meant for mechanics/installers with some previous experience installing cloth. You are somewhat of an exception to the norm because you've already spent quite a bit of money on the tools to do the job. I think the goal here is to reduce the number of complaints about Simonis'...

    Installing Worsted Wool Cloth

    I would think they check out your credentials to see if your business at least exists before they take your work that you're a mechanic. In other words, they still might not sell to a mechanic who does not have a business name and is not listed in any phone book or online directory and who no...

    Need Kling set up near Charlotte

    Wish I had known. We're in Asheville for a job tomorrow, but have to head back for more work on Thursday and Friday back home. Too bad we didn't know about it before we got here.

    Repair screw holes

    I run into those a lot. I take the plate off, plug the hole with a flush cut 1/4" dowel glued in there. Seems like most of the figure 8 rails have stripped screws for the plates.

    How to evaluate rails

    Agreed. I compare it to my wife asking me to teach her how to bank after I fired a few in warming up. I said I could teach her 4 or 5 systems and she still wouldn't KNOW how to bank, or she could just bank some balls and see where they went and then adjust and practice. You can measure rail...

    best table spots

    I think so. The stick-on, not the lick-on. They tend to curl up less and don't leave as much residue on the cloth.
