Denatured alcohol applied with a magic eraser, with the grain works the best in my efforts. If that doesn't get the high majority of it the shaft was probably never sealed properly,,,,,,, or someone has used sand paper on it alot to keep it smooth, which is a terrible idea. If that is the case...
Not so quick,,,,,,,, I have 2 sets of Brunswick Centennials and have measured both of them thoroughly with micrometers and there isn't more than .0003 difference in any diameter measurements across the 2 sets, which by the way, one set is less than 6 months old and the other is almost 30 years...
well it seems like it's worth $30, to him, cause that is an amount he accepted for it, but then it's debatable as to whether anyone is willing to go more in the way of gas money to actually get possession of it, so yeah, like Chris Hightower said, south of a hundred, but closer to $30.
You could consider dumping the drain water yourself rather than adding that to your wifes "duties". If the basement is that wet then I wouldn't store ANY cues down there that I liked. If the grips are absorbing that much moisture imagine what the cue wood is doing.
will you know the correct answer when you see it?
It's a hack job from the start, he's trying to match a new joint collar to a new shaft to blend with I guess the original finish on the cue,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, seems a bit backwards to me.
I was joking,,,,,,,,,,, green is probably the least likely color of brass tarnish, but I do think it's more depending on why it tarnished than the type of brass.
The threaded insert in the shaft looks to be brass shore nuff, while the insert in the butt shore nuff does not. Not sure I understand the question he has.
If $500 is the going rate, which ebay is generally a good indicator of, what do you think is a fair price for you to pay? I do have it btw, won it in a raffle that I invested $20 bucks in.
