Pull the cloth tight over the end and put two staples at least one inch from the end. Pull the top towards the end and staple the length. Now here's where I differ from Glen, ever so slightly pull the bottom back the other way and staple. Trim. You're probably pulling too tight as you're used to...

I'd like to hear some opinions on this myself. If the problem is pulled too tight, I think that would bend the weave somewhat and cause the ball to have a slight bias towards the rail??? Sounds so incremental that you'd need measuring devices to detect it. I can relate to tomsters dilema...

That is shoddy.

You catch on quik dont'cha? He' s pulling your leg. You and your buddy's just want to have a little fun right? Buy 6 foot of a cheaper cloth other than Titan. Sounds like you won't notice the difference. Your balls should measure 2 1/4". You could modify the inside of the table to use a...

When checking a table I always use an object ball.

LMAO Better than nuthin!!!

Most common is the glue has failed adhering the rubber to the wood. This is an easy fix. Second is the rubber has become hard. Use a fingernail and push on the edge, it should come right back. If not, replace rubber. Third is the rubber is just plain wore out. Worn rubber will have a rounded...

Does the chip extend past the rail into the playfield?

For wear. Pockets literally take a beating. Look at a worn cloth and notice the holes wearing through from the increased action. Also I don't think you would like the pinball action with just rubber sides.

Thats quite the heritage. Looks like it would fefinsh real nice. Congrats!!!

Yes, it depends. It goes by feel for me being as how it's wood. Generally speaking, tighten till you feel the wood start to compress (very tight snug) then 1/2 turn more. I've never seen any torque specs published. I'd be interested to see that also.

To avoid any risk of spitting the seams get a table with a one piece slate.

Table is now listed on ebay. Thanks

I do have the Simonis factory dvd. Is this you? If so, then i have seen it.

Lol, i knew you'd have a heyday with that one. As I said earlier, I wasn't happy with it myself and as eluded to in my came to the conclusion comment, I won't be trying it again, it was an experiment. I guess I'm just not a big fan of the Christmas present method. I have not seen your dvd but...

And the rear view as requested.

I'm not going to disassemble the Diamond but here's the Valley rail.

Here's an Valley rail streched in 860. Been on there 2 years. Not real happy with the strech marks. As you can see, it can be done.

Interesting numbers. We need a new movie!:)

Here's a couple examples of my work. On the right is a Valley rail recovered in Championship Invitational cloth. I'm able to stretch the cloth without using the"hospital wrap" as I've seen it called here, I call it the Christmas present wrap. Stretched with no folds is how Valley ships them...
