ok. I guess i have the wrong poolroom regarding Mosconi. Wasn't There a room he either owned or visited often? Do i remember a room on Giraud (Guirrad Ave ??). Harry Hallman(about 60yrs old in 1970) was some kind of PA state champion(probably 14.1). Great guy. Was some kind of a sheetmetal worker.

Thanks for the pics. All those cues nice. Looks like www.discountpoolcues.com is no longer active since their main page is suggesting another website.

Good old Willie Hoppe cues. They were legendary in those days and not many other cues in 1970 had a leather wrap that i saw around. Don't i remember Willy Mosconi showing up at 19th and Cheltenham Avenue from time to time ? Did you know Harry Hallman ?

thanks. I'll look that up. It did lead me to some of those cues available on the "Asian ? ebay" . That's interesting too. Any idea what the import fee(s) are from Japan ?

Hi Cornerman, I was wondering what your Balabushka Cue looks like (model ?) ... are you selling it?

Hello. The Adam AH-12 Century is impressive. I bet it was REALLY impressive when new.

Wow. Balabushka gets around the Orient. Anyway great info, Thanks

Hey, thanks for that info. Several good tips. I'll keep in touch for your trip to MB.

ok. can you send me some pics and the other details? thanks

Hi Bob, yeah that style cue is basically what i'm looking for. Not custom but still nice. Is the weight adjustable in those cues? If you are thinking of selling it send me a message. thanks

We both headed to college about the same time which probably means you had a draft deferment. They were strange times regarding the Vietnam war. Yes, at that time, Doc Made me(and Steve Mizerak) customized cues for free. Kinda like a sponsor does today. Doc Frye made really nice, solid cues and...

yeah. Thanks. Good suggestions. I definitely want something in my hand to see and feel. Yeah, i want that "points" look. It's a long story. I will probably get wood and a carbon shaft. I really, really like the feel of carbon but i don't have enough hours of use to be certain and then i'll have...

I JUST started looking and I also would much rather get a cue from the USA at that price range. I'll ck Schon. Any others you know about?

I am looking for a NEW(or possibly used), old school "traditional style" cue with the color veneer points, etc and i looked at the Japan Balabushka's ($600 to $1350). They look really nice on a computer screen but that doesn't mean much. Does anyone have info on them or maybe another manufacturer?

I think the Moulin Rouge was operating thru at least 1976 since i went back and forth from college. I lived only 1/4 mile away from there but then moved straight to Ocean City NJ from my dorm. I never remember the name changing to Country Club Billiards but it rings a bell. Boulevard Billiards...

Yes and thanks for that effort. That's the problem i'm having. Ebay will not let me contact him directly and that is why i reached out here at azbilliards. I am not trying to contact him about this specific cue.

ok. It was about 1970-72 in a far northeast phila poolroom called the Moulin Rouge. It was a very new and nice room with about 15 tables and every good pool player from the country went thru there. One average day Miz showed up there with Doc Frye (a local HOF cue maker who actually taught Gus...
