    table adjustments/scratching on balls?

    Did a little work on the table today. The cue cabinet was damaged. I removed it and took off the old wood. Anyway, back on topic. Can anyone tell me about my questions at the top of this topic? The cue ball return showed signs of having a top originally. So I made a new one...

    Vintage Valley parts needed

    The only older parts Valley has for a table this old are pocket liners. Here is a pick of my dads Valley's coin slide, door, and cash box.

    table adjustments/scratching on balls?

    Glenn, that's what I was thinking too. I am really wondering about having new walnut laminate and new cloth put on the table. This would also give the chance to remove all the old glue from the slate.

    table adjustments/scratching on balls?

    Here are two pics of the head top rail, showing what I am worried about. Here is the metal corner that is broken: Creative use of electical tape, but will it work? What would be a better idea? I don't remember my dad's table having such and open gap between the bottom of the pocket...

    table adjustments/scratching on balls?

    Glenn, I'll check the glue on the underside of the slate. Whoever put the cloth on last used duct tape to hold the cloth down. They did a terrible job on the table. I think when the time comes I'll give Leo a call and see if he'll put Simonis 860HR on. But for now... They usually get stuck...

    bolt on rail coversions

    I wasn't sure where to put this topic. There might have been other topics started about the same thing too, but I didn't know what exactly to search for. I remember seeing that someone made their own rails to covert a pocket table into a carom or 3 cushion table. Has anyone on here done this...

    Vintage Valley parts needed

    I am restoring an older Valley Coin pool table and am looking for vintage parts. I would like to find the original coin chute, counter, metal cash box, and any other coin op parts for this model. Also, any photos of similar tables would be a big help.

    table adjustments/scratching on balls?

    The coin mech housing looks different from my dads. I think it has been changed around. Some chipped laminate. Typical bar abuse. Lots of history. There are also two other topics I started on this table in the main section: http://forums.azbilliards.com/showthread.php?t=257445...

    table adjustments/scratching on balls?

    I just got a vintage Valley coin pool table. I'm not sure the year. My best guess is 60s-70s. It is my favorite model they have produced. My dad had the exactly same model when I was a kid. The table is an 8 foot table, with a 44" x 88" playing surface, 1" thick, solid single piece slate. The...

    Here it finally is! My dad had the same model. This is one of my favorite tables. I want to restore it; refinish the cabinet, clean up the inside. restore the coin mech, put some mother of pearl diamond inlays, and Simonis 860HR. I plan on enjoying this table for years.

    basic re-tiping questions

    Okay, so I bought a very nice table accessory kit that came with a basic re-tiping kit. It came with small black circles, paper thin. What are these used for? Or do they have anything to do with the re-tiping tools at all? Are they table spots maybe? On some of my tips, there is a black, hard...
