Gotta wonder of ol' KT will trust US to make our next qualifier entry in six (6) MONTHLY payments AFTER the event?

The True Masters I have a hard time referring to any of today's cuemakers as "master cuemakers." Cue makers like Harvey Martin and Rambow invented the art...and even built their own equipment for making cues and balls. They were the true masters of the art.

I would contend that placing gobs of masking tape and butcher paper on a fine instrument like a fine cue is no different than placing same on a Stradivarius. You're not going to make fine music with either. I once had Harvey Martin explain in detail the theory behind his SS 3/8-10 pin into...

About this joint... Not all the older players preferred SS as you well know. While Rambow got the East Coast players attention, Harvey Martin rightfully was favored by knowing West Coasters...and he got it right with ivory, and a 3/8-10 SS pin into a fiber insert. His were the best playing...

Not the steal I thought it was. Found this ad on Ebay: http://2url.org?37181

Found a beautiful restored antique Brunswick 6 leg 5x10 available for the first $1500 offer. The table has cert of authenticity and looks new. The table is currently owned by a game room supply company that has just changed hands, and the new owners are of a mind to "dump" the table, thinking no...

Here are two options for you if you want to adapt Gold Crown bridge holders to your table: 1- TSP&B sent the following IM to my call for bridge holders: "I have either 1 or 2 of the Chrome plated racks that attach to the underside of the table and hold the bridge sticks. They were originally on...

Seeking a pair of GC bridge holders and one rack holder. If you have available, please advise or PM me.

IMO, the two men who did the most to resurrect the popularity of pool in Arizona when it died in the 50's were Bill Amadeo and Jack Levine. I just learned that Bill past about three years ago. These were two great guys. Jack opened the Golden Cue on the west side of Phoenix, while Bill opened...

I originally posted this inquiry in the general section but was advised to post it here for additional advice: Just had a Gold Crown I recovered with Simonis 860. Mechanic was to convert table to a 'tight pocket' table with 4 1/2" pockets. He replaced the original 'Super Speed' cushions with...

He used shims. First, he used a box cutter to cut the original SS rubber off. Then he carefully sanded the rails to accept the new rubber. Next he applied two *sets* of shims to the rails. Then the new rubber was applied with contact cement. He then cut the ends of the new rubber using soapy...

Appreciate your advice... Jury's still out for me...looking for any and all advice. Again, really appreciate your advice...

Just had a Gold Crown I recovered with Simonis 860. Mechanic was to convert table to a 'tight pocket' table with 4 1/2" pockets. He replaced the original 'Super Speed' cushions with something pink and the finished corner pockets came out 4" measured from inside pocket's outside 1/8" radius. He...

Most interesting tournament venue I experienced was the '65 US Open. Now I could be off a year either way on when it was held, but not about the layout of the venue itself. The room was in LA and owned by one of the Laker players. I remember George Balabushka hawking his wares outta that...

Looks like a stiff to me.

PM'd you back. Will call when can. BTW, good story. He told me he made cues outta his home. Was it in Anaheim? Did you ever see his cue making settup? I take it your game picked up after the Golden Cue days and you went tournament on us. True? I did a bit of running with Little Al in those...

You might want to replay the ones that bombed. Good entertaining information in each one. They all played on my computers. BTW, did you play the 'Little Ritchie', Rags and Jimmy Moore video, and read the player stories? Some decent content there as well. Thinkin' I might just go to the next...

Jack, do not want to publish that info. We know each other from those days. I still have the winners trophy from the '70 Stardust Open Qualifier and Arizona State Championship...The Cue Stick on Indian School. Will share this little story with you...was hired as the house pro at a rather large...

Thank you for refreshing our memory. Jack did indeed know how to run a great room. Still remember he tiled under each table while carpeting the rest of the playing area. Seem to remember running into you one night at a bar on Camelback while running with Pucket where you offered a cue for sale...
