My vote would be to keep it as original as possible...even if it went a little shorter.

That table looks beautiful. I'm a big fan of restorations; not so much so increase value but just to preserve something for future generations to see and enjoy. If it were me, I would spend the money on the basic restoration and not worry about bringing it up to modern playing standards...

Prayers going out from me.

In her prime, Karen Corr didn't have to lose to anyone. I've seen her take sets off the best male players in the world.

If the OP isn't interested, please let me know.

I wanted to add that once again, don't do any business with Sam Engles. He goes several aliases. He's a flat-out thief. Something is seriously wrong with him. For no reason, he screwed me after we've completed several transactions that went fine.

Mike, FargoRate, by now, has a wealth of interesting data that would be a blast to really dig into. You might want to consider expanding into that realm.

I've seen that Bondo stuff chip off under the cloth and work its way around causing balls to alter course. I wouldn't jump balls or masse on a slate joint (that can't be good for Bondo).

I'll read it and before I kick-off, I'll gift it to one of my AZ buddies. Otherwise, I'm sure the ol' lady would shit-can it when cleaning out my stuff. It's autographed by Efren and Manalo (to me though)!

Would you happen to have any old Moori slows (s)?

Here what my buddy said when I thanked him: "Wow, Great to know that you appreciate my simple gift to you. I found out that Marlon "Marvelous Captain" Manalo, Efren "Bata" Reyes our great billiard players and Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao - our boxing great opened their PACMAN's CUE CLUB billiard...

Mine was sent to me from a buddy in the Philippines. I didn't notice it was only for sale there. Mine is in English. I also got a baseball cap with Efren's initials. Efren appears to have his own line of apparel there.

I just received my copy. Anyone else read it? 'Bata' Reyes marks 71st birthday with launch of book, pool club First 500 copies of 'The Magician' sold out POOL legend Efren 'Bata' Reyes was feted on his 71st birthday with the launch of his autobiography and a state-of-the-heart pool club as well...

Looks like it was a 59" cue. I think the break could be cut flat and fixed perfectly. It deserves to be fixed - even if it didn't come out perfect.

Maybe. Just the other day I was watching an old match, I believe it was Hopkins and Earl. They both missed badly a few times a rack, but the pockets were so loose they fell anyway. One of the commentators commented on how loose the table was playing and how many of those balls wouldn't fall...

He missed the world record by 13 balls? Sigh, I hope he's back at it.

I enjoy playing on any table. And your opponent is playing on the same table, crappy or not. Still, playing on a perfect table is a special joy.

But it's a wonderful, glorious pool room stink.

I have been told by three cue makers that it doesn't matter. Recently, because of space constraints, I started to store my cues/cases vertically. Before that, I stored them horizontally for 40 years without any warping / wobbling.

Magical is a good way to describe it. In my 45 years of playing pool, I've known of two cues like that. One was a Gus and the other was a some unknown sneaky. I didn't own either but all the guys in the pool room would try to borrow one if they were in the finals or had a big money game. My...
