@ KickinChicken- Thanks for the link! The guy has the parts & I'd like to buy from him, but my brother called and this guy should be in prison... for HIGHWAY ROBBERY! I refuse to pay 25% of what these tables are going for in good condition to get score counters! Then, if we want a ball box...

@dontlitethat- Thank you as well for the info! We have a really old Valley (model 43) 4x8 that has a PILE of spray glue built up. I think it's time for us to upgrade to the 3M Scotch-weld 10 and get rid of the spray glue mess! Where is the best place to get / order the 3M™ Scotch-Weld™...

@Reverend Thanks!!! that's the exact info I needed! :thumbup:

Couple quick questions: If the felt needs to be re-stretched does the adhesive / glue let it go or does it ruin the felt when you pull it? i.e. is the contact adhesive made to release fairly easily? When putting new felt on a previously glued slate how do you clean the old glue / adhesive off?

Jay- thanks for the info and your real world experience! We'll try it that way. :thumbup: sammi sam- what's a 'jigger'?

Thanks everyone! To the people who've moved these things with the slate in... WOW!!! We have 4 pretty strong guyhs moving them and the 7 footer we got today was a mo fo for just the slate (the cabinet, though more awkward is quite a bit lighter) and that was loading straight into the trailer &...

I would like some info on how the pros move the valley tables with 1 piece slate together for a side business my brother and I are trying to start. I don't know why I didn't post it here since I knew of this area. Brain fart I guess. If you can help please respond by clicking here...

maybe this would be better in the ask a table mechanic forum. Why didn't I think of that before!? :confused:

Don't know if anyone here might know or have experience with this, but my brother & I bought a couple of older 1 piece slate Valley 4x8 tables. 8' tables are approx 700 pounds and 7'ers are 650 pounds. We were actually going to put the 1st one in the basement but couldn't get it down the stairs...

Great thanks Jim!

Man, we just bought a 4x8 1 piece slate Valley last night with working coin mechanism, new felt included, full ball set, but it was too big to get in basement. It's older than the ones you guys have pictured (ours is a model 43) and has white sides. I'm bummed it won't clear the door (we even...

Dartman, thanks for the info & suggestions. Club Billiards- thank you & we live about 20 minutes east of the city.

OK, thanks a bunch for the info! I have a wood lathe & so do my Grandpa, but no foot control so I'll have to get my brother to spin the lathe for me.

I have a National cue I bought about 15 years ago when I was in High School and thought was a very nice cue. If I remember remember correctly it was discounted b/c the Irish Linen wasn't just right. Well over the years of me playing on and off the wrap is in very sad shape. I took it to a...

Hi, I'm new to forum & have a quick question. My brother bought an older return style ATI Leisure Time Products (circa 1972) 4x8' table cheap off his boss who wanted to get it out of the way. The table is in really good shape and has fairly nice felt (cloth) that has a white backing to it. A...
