That's pretty cool.

That's a new one for me. The gold metal is probably brass but I have no idea why there would be no head for installation/removal. Interesting....

Here's some info I dug up for you; Thomas Wayne is the father of Bruce Wayne, and husband of Martha Wayne, as well as a gifted surgeon and philanthropist. He is the inheritor of the Wayne family fortune after Patrick Wayne, which was built through industry and real estate by previous...

That's pretty cool. I'd hate to see it go to the dump or be cut up. There has to be someone around there that could use it.

Even guys the manufacture a "line" of cues would not make the butt cap ahead of time that would be bolted at the end of construction. The parts are all oversized and turned at the same time as the rest of the cue. I you find a salvaged butt cap, the chances of it matching up with another...

There is no such thing as a ready-made butt cap. Everything is raw material or oversized and then cut to match the specific cue.

Nope. I just use a razor blade and cut the small slits.

There are two different sizes of bumpers. I've also seen several that have developed the same "click" that you are hearing. Here's what I do; take the bigger bumper and cut 3 slits into it at equal intervals. You may need to remove a little material. Take as little as possible to get it to...

Why stop there? How about one of us come to your place and fix it for you as well? :rolleyes:

That's an Irving Kaye.

The blank side is the glue side.

I prefer to give the customers what they ask for and not what I can talk them into. There are many, many, quality tips on the market. For instance, I know several player that refuse to use a layered tip. What do you do? Turn them away? That doesn't make much sense to me....

cost of the tip + $$$/hour for labor. Don't forget to add sales tax, file in the city/state you are working in, and to have a business license.. When you work a tournament, you never know who is watching....

What is the wholesale price to cue makers or resellers? PM please.

Most Japanese tips RETAIL at $20-$25. That is not the price that a cue maker/repair would pay for it. If, in fact, $25 is the wholesale price on this tip, that means it will retail in the $40-$50 range, making it too expensive to stock and carry for most shops. I'm not saying it couldn't be...

Finished...

Replaced all the old cracked ring work as well as built a new shaft to his specs.

I restored this old Meucci for a fellow AZer. The forearm had been broken and reglued before I received it so I had to take a different approach.

I have the material but it is already built into a ring pack with a red ring instead of the black ring, like yours. It may take a little work but you could carefully cut the rings apart and make use of the grey material.

I made the new decal, installed it, and shot finish over it.
