    Trouble with recovering rails...

    I enjoy working on pool tables a bit and I want to learn how to do all these things myself. I recently bought some new cloth and cushions and have been redoing my 9' table. I'm pretty good at the bed cloth now so I started with the rails. Most people seem to struggle with the rails. I've heard...

    Gandy Big G Ball return questions

    I was going to post this in the 'Ask a mechanic' section but I feel I should also ask my questions to tabIe owners. I have a 9' Gandy Big G Limited that once had a ball return on it. I bought a ball return box from Ken Hash at Classic Billiards but I waited on the return gullies for now as I'm...

    WTB Glow in the Dark set

    I am looking for a used, good condition Glow in the Dark set of pool balls. Preferably Aramith. I am on a budget so I can't afford the price of a new set. If you have a set that you just don't really use and don't mind selling, I would be interested. I think it would be fun for the kids... ok...

    Black Diamond cushions?

    I've heard Black Diamond cushions mentioned in high regard on here in a few threads. I can't seem to find anything on them. Anyone know where to buy or more information on them? I hear they are nearly as good as Artemis.

    Need help lining up rails and aprons.

    Can anyone share some useful tips for fine tuning the rails? I am having trouble getting the rails and aprons lined up. Also, I've heard and read that the rails and aprons can be assembled upside-down as a whole unit and flipped over to be installed. Is this really a good idea? I would worry...

    Gandy rails

    I have read a few things on here about Gandy rails being incorrect. They seem to sit too low and cause the balls to hop. I would like to have my rails professionally modified before installing new cushions (and new cloth!). I’d like to know all your thoughts, advice, and information on this.

    Installing plastic pockets; tricks and tips?

    There are always better ways of doing something as it seems. I recently learned to use 3/4" plastic hanger straps to make a finished edge on pockets. (Thank you Glen!) It's a sharp idea as it covers the staples under the cloth. But it's got me wondering; does anyone have any tricks for fixing...

    PVC / ABS pipe ball return?

    I have a 9' Gandy Big G Limited that I am fixing up. Love the table! But it needs new cloth, cushions, and a few other missing parts replaced. One thing I'd like to do is replace the missing ball return system. There is evidence that there was once a ball return track mounted and Ken Hush has...

    Craps / roulette pool table inserts?

    Does anyone know where I can find casino game inserts for my pool table? 9' would be awesome if they make such a thing. I like to use the hell out of my pool table as it's the center piece in my game room and sometimes I like to (gasp) play something other than billiards. I know I know, why...

    Showing off my Gandy Big G LTD

    I sadly sold my vintage Valley coin pool table. I replaced it with a 9' Pro Gandy Big G Limited. I miss my Valley, but I love the new table!

    I wasn't sure if this belonged here or the wanted/for sale section. Does anyone know where I can find some parts for my Gandy Big G LTD pool table? What I'm looking for is the three metal supports for the ball self as seen in the below photo. I've checked with Ken at Classic Billiards but he...

    Vintage Valley coin table for sale - $600 OBO - Moses Lake WA

    I have sadly decided to sell my vintage Valley coin op pool table. This is a really nice table aside from the heavy cosmetic shape. It is an 8' model with an 88" x 44" playfield. 7/8" thick, single piece slate. Coin mechanism works. I have two Monarch 25 cent coin slides. One is a vintage used...

    Warren pool cue rack review

    Warren pool cue rack by Touch of Class Product review Last week I ordered the Warren cue rack from Touch of Class and thought that I would do a review on azbilliards for it. I love the wall racks but the problem is that they can take up a lot of space on your wall that you might wish to reserve...

    WTB 68mm pool ball set

    Okay it may be a bit crazy but I am looking for a set of 68mm (2 11⁄16 in) pool balls. I collect odd billiard items and ball sets and am fascinated with Russian Pyramid.

    Looking for a drop pocket table

    I am looking to buy a nice drop pocket, 3 piece, 8' or 9' pool table. I currently have an 8' Valley coin table but due to an upcoming move I may have to sell my Valley for something that's better to move across state with. I'd like to find a table with turned legs instead of claw foot legs but...
