Hey guys! I recently bought an old 6ft Valley table for 140$ online! I have a hard time dating it as I can't find the serial number anywhere. The table has been modified as it is missing the coin box (removed and replaced with plywood). It was located at the bottom left of the table.
I decided to change the bumpers and redo the felt. View pics below of before, and after. This was my first time "restoring" a table. The K-66 bumpers were a bit bigger than the originals, but it works. Anyways one problem I got was that this table seems to have been buitl for antique 2" balls. I didn't realize and bought new 2 1/4" balls. The corner pockets ended up being 3.75 in wide! Not very forgiving but playable, especially considering the smaller 6ft table.
I found a similar one online for sale, with the black corners, says it's 1950s.
