There's no doubt in my mind that table plays as great as it looks!!! Congrats to you and Mark for restoring one of the nicest Brunswick tables to even better than new. I'm so jealous.

Sorry about that typo...I have the le-4 with the gen-3 shaft with radial pin. It seems to work much better since I cleaned up the joint on the shaft but will keep the tapping idea in mind if it starts breaking down hard again. Thanks For The Help, Dean

Just a quick follow up for anyone else having this issue... I was on the Predator website yesterday looking for a customer service number and noticed they recommend cleaning the joints of all new sticks with rubbing alcohol and a Q-tip, and periodicly after that. Thought I'd give that a try...

Thanks for all of the replies:thumbup: I thought about putting something on the threads to make it easier but was hesitant to gunk up the inner joint on the shaft and possibly make things worse. As far as leaving my sticks together... I always lay all of my sticks flat on the table after I'm...

I bought a new predator roadline SE at the Valley Forge show last April and absolutely love this stick. It has a great balance to it and hits like a dream with the 314-3 shaft with factory Everest tip. With that being said, I hate the way this thing screws together...It's ridiculously tight...

It's not hard Chris, but does take some time and experimenting. I matched my Brunswick anniversary skirts almost perfect. Your best bet is grab a bunch of the small cans of Minwax stains from your favorite hardware store and test them out on the back side of your skirts. I had to mix and match...

I'm not a table mechanic so take it for what it's worth. Maybe you have your felt slightly bunched up or stapled at the wrong spot under the rails.

Check out Zero-X System on utube. I've been shooting pool for 35 years and picked up some more knowledge. Best part is it's free!!! I liked it so much I bought some of his computer downloads. Money well spent.

As RKC stated, the slates can be moved with with one person but definately need the right technique and tools. This pic shows the pins that the older brunswicks have and a useful tool for moving slates. There's also a handle that clamps to the top of the slate to pull it around with. Hat's off...

Hey Steve, I tried to do mine in cork and wasn't happy with it so I went to home cheapo and bought a small piece of black indoor outdoor carpet that has a felt look. I cut it up and installed it with double sided carpet tape. I cut the large bottom piece big enough to cover the ramps where the...

Glue on your fingers and touching the felt on the finished side :angry: I'm not a mechanic but recovered some tables and all of the bar boxes I've done it helps to lift the slate up on both ends and have someone slide a 2 bye 4 under the slate to elavate it till your finished. Good luck with...

I'm not a table mechanic and don't want to steer you in the wrong direction but I just stacked my slate flat on top of each other. It was a Brunswick 9ft. anniversary with wood backing on the slates. I layed a moving blanket between the slates and they didn't move a bit in our 350 mile trip...

I relize this is an old thread but was wondering if your predator 99-5 is still for sale? I have been looking for this specific model. Thanks

That sucks you have to sell your great find:confused: I enjoyed watching your progress. I'm guessing the wife found her dirty pot in your garage:eek: Good luck with your sale and situation

I've found a lot of useful information on this sight to help me with restoring my anniversary table and thought it was time to share some ideas. Hope this helps someone down the road. Here's a pic of the finished pocket in my table and I can still use my ball return:thumbup:

I put the second matching half of the velcro over the other one then measured and lined everything up and this is what I ended up with. I planned on putting some pop rivets in later after I checked to make sure my profiles were correct for each pocket but found it wasn't needed. I'm glad for...

Apply velcro to the new pocket liners

Pull out loose stitching and clean both sides for the velcro to adhere

Use a thin knife or razorblade and cut them off

I measured and marked my boots before i cut them apart to try to get the same height and profile
