Rick, thanks. That explained a lot. According to those instructions, I have K55 cushions on the Olhausen. Some guys told me that I had K66 cushions on there, but according to the measurements, they are K55 1/1/4" backside. Anyway, I just took apart one rail. WOW! Those old Championship cushions...

Hi, I purchased the Accu-fast cushions. The dealer only had 9 foot cushions so I will cut them off to the correct length for my 8' oversized table. I will begin removing the original felt and cushions this weekend, and install the Accu-fast. I have never done this before. Anyone have a procedure...

Thanks again Pat. I will contact Tableman.

Pat, Any suggestions where I can buy new cushions and cloth for my Olhausen Americana? I might as well replace the felt at the same time. BTW....would they be K66 cushions? Thanks, Gary

I finished the slate today on my Olhausen. Put the cloth on, installed the rails, and played a few games. 5 of 6 rail cushions are dead or mostly dead. Mostly the middle area of the cushion is dead. the outside ends seem more lively on most of them. Any suggestions? Do I need new cushions? I...

I've just put on the 3 pieces of slate on my Olhausen Americana. I lined them up, and installed all the lag screws thru the slate. I have a few questions related to what's next: 1) Should I tighten the slate lag screws all the way, or back them off a half turn? 2) There is still wax on the...

Thanks. I'll go to the auto store tomorrow and get Bondo. Now that you explained how to fill the screw holes, I feel comfortable using Bondo. Pat, thanks for the offer. I will try the Bondo tomorrow because I hope to get the table finished for the weekend. I appreciate all your help on this and...

Any particular kind of bondo? I wonder if the bondo will become too hard after I put it into the screw holes in the slate. I mean in the future if someone needs to take it apart again, they will have trouble?

Donny, I can't find bees wax. Can I use the wax from a wax ring that are used under toilets? Gary

I'm putting my Olhausen back together now. What do you recommend to put in the cracks between the slates? and also in the screw holes? bees wax? or spackle? or what? No stores seem to have bees wax. Thanks, Gary

now assembly of the Olhausen Americana Update: The disassembly of the Olhausen went smooth. Although those slates are "heavy"! WOW! It's now in my basement waiting for assembly. But the 1st question I have is about the table cloth. It appears to be older, but still in good shape. There are no...

Thanks guys. This was a great help. I will be back here in the next couple days with questions about putting it back together! Gary

Thanks Pat! Are you saying that I can just "pull" on the cloth and the staples will come out with the cloth? According to the seller, the cloth is in good condition, so I prefer to try and reuse the cloth on re-assembly if I can.

Hi guys, Can anyone give me simple instructions on the disassembly of an Olhausen Americana table? I am going to pick up a used one from a private seller tomorrow and need some quick disassembly help. I have rented a cargo van. Appreciate your help! Gary
