    Global for Dynamo

    There is a bar in my area that has 2 Global 8" coin op tables in great shape. I recovered them a few years ago and always admired these tables. I was talking to the owners the other day and mentioned that I have a 7' Dynamo at home, also in great shape. They would like a smaller table for...

    Dynamo for Global?

    Hi all. I recover tables as my side job. I take care of several bars. One place has two 8' Global tables that are in great condition. They are doing some rearranging and mentioned that they would like a 7 footer. I told them that I have a 7' Dynamo and they are interested in a trade, straight...

    Need rails/irons for new Brunswick

    I went to set up a table for a customer the other day. It is a Brunswick Conrad. He bought it from an individual in new unopened crates and boxes. After unpacking all the parts, we realized that there is no rails or irons. I set up the base, legs and slates. Where do I look for him to purchase...

    Factory or Cue Maker?

    Thank you all for you informed answers, they are indeed helpful. I did not mean to stir up any hard feeleings though. I guess I shouldn't have brought up specific dollar amounts. Thanks again.

    Factory or Cue Maker?

    I have a Viking cue that I picked up and would like it rewrapped and another shaft made. I could send it to Viking for the work, about $150. Also there is a new cue maker in the area. He's been doing this for about a year and a half. I've seen one of his new shafts the other day and it looks...

    Used bondo for 1st time today

    I've been recovering tables for 20 years as a nice side job, usually 2 or 3 a month. Bar boxes for the most but plenty of home 8 footers. The one that I completed with new rubber today was the most perfect job yet. Anyway, today I used bondo instead of bees wax. It turned out great but more time...

    Is Viking back?

    Hi all, I just received an Email ad from Ozone Billiards for Viking cues. Did someone buy the factory and start up again? Or would this be older stock?

    Thanks

    I grew up in an upholstery shop. I recovered my first table, my own 9 ft. Brunswick, at 16. For the last 17 years I have carved out a nice side business working on pool tables. I usually do 2 or 3 a month and take care of most bars in the area. I'm an electrician by trade but what I really enjoy...

    Thanks for the replies. I will pay more attention in the future. I like the 865 and should have researched better.

    Mali 865 and Meuller's Mali

    I'm covering a table in a camel color. I usually use Mali 865 for home tables. I got this Mali cloth from Muellers and compared to some scraps of known 865, it looks like a different weave or something. Is there different Mali cloth out there?

    Hitting balls

    Been working 7 12's for a few weeks. About 5 more weeks to go. Would much rather be playing on my freshly recovered table with new Ridgeback rails and my new Duramith ball set. My league play is suffering as well.

    Hazards of knocking cue

    Also there usually will be grit embedded in a line up the side of the shaft if it falls on a dirty floor. Not cool.

    Barge Thinner

    I've used Barge contact cement for years for rail rubber replacement. Now I have a few partial cans around that have thickened, the label says to use Barge thinner only but that stuff is hard to find or costly to ship. Is there a good alternative thinner out there? I have some Fastbond 10 on...
