I called both Joss and Nick Varner up inquiring about the stick. Stephen at Joss does remember producing the sticks for Nick to purchase and then do as his wished with them from there. After 40+ years and tens of thousands cue sticks Joss has produced in that time period, the folks there aren't...

I am looking at a mid 1980s Joss made cue that was made for Nick Varner to sell thru his outlet? It has the printing on the joint collar Joss for Nick Varner World Champion and has a NV logo design on the area right below the linen wrap. I was told these Joss cues when new in the 1980s sold for...

Hard to understand why anyone would hate the Chinese 8 ball game. It is played on a much tougher table then any tournament table that is used here in the states, even the 4.25" tables in KY. The steel backing in the C8B table rails make the rails of the table play more lively and much harder to...

I stopped at Longos social club back on South Street in July of 1978 in Philly and it was a narrow stairwell one had to climb to get to the second floor social club. The owner and his wife ran the place and there was a strict rule of no cussing or gambling in the social club. Hand signals were...

With India being #1 in population China being number 2 in population coming in at close to 3 billion people that is a very large market by itself. Billiards is promoted big time over in SE Asia and has more major TV coverage in China then in any other country out there today in 2024. There is...

A 9ft coin op box for Chinese 8 ball. The Joy folks sure throwing out a lot of seeds to promote Chinese 8 ball.

A steel alloy metal frame table that looks like it is a beast. The table's race car design isn't my cup of tea, but might work without the plastic ferrings installed.

Great looking table and I would add 3 coats of some high dollar water based topcoat for the rails. Zar OMU which works will with oily wood. To finish off your aluminum trim pieces I would check around your area for a business that deals with automotive exterior film wraps. Then you can get...

Add in a scratch on the cue ball the next player gets ball in hand behind the head string in the kitchen. If the lowest number ball(s) behind the head string they go down. If a player makes the 8 ball and scratches the cue ball, the 8 ball gets spotted and ball in hand behind the head string...

Yes I have played on one, but it was in a noisy environment with a jukebox blasting and plenty of activity in the room, so any noise the ball return system might have produced I sure couldn't hear. But that was in a business environment and not in a home setup. There are some people that after...

The Diamond ball return system is a gulley ball system that has the top of the chutes lined with rubber from the looks of the video here. You can easily add Neoprene to the underside of the ball return system to help quiet the ball return system even more. Starting at the 2 minute mark of the...

:) The large plywood sheet(s) that are used in the plywood boxes construction can act like a sound reflector if vibrations are added to the piece. A gully ball return system might create more vibrations in it's use, then the old spiral wire ball return system that was mostly suspended in the...

Dynamat self adhesive sound deadening material, along with it's many knock off brands will kill all of the noise from the ball return system. These pieces can be purchased in sheets and a heat gun comes in handy when installing. The 1" cutting grid helps to make things easy...

Lizard Skin makes a sound proofing material that you can spray on with a high density spray gun. You can coat the inside of the plywood box with the Lizard Skin sound proofing, making sure that once done you will still be able to open up the maintenance hatches on your table. Quiet Wrap pipe...

Thanks for the video plus accurate description of a thick plywood box and detachable legs.

It has been a very long time since I seen a bar box taken apart, so that is the reason for my questions. Easy to see the reason why a bar box would go to a metal exterior frame, so it can take even more abuse then the old plywood models. Makes stacking the boxes easier for storage purposes...

I was looking at the Global Facebook page and the GC 7 coin up looks to me to have taller metal legs of a different design then the Global box. Along with what looks like metal skirting being used as support between the metal legs? The GC metal legs look to extend all of the way to the slate...
