My best deal so far was my table. It was XMAS time 2011, I had just started playing pool a couple months earlier. I was looking at an Olhausen on Craigslist, I tried calling but got no answer. Went back to CL next day to get the number again and there is an 8 foot GC for $300.00. I knew the GC was a nice table cause I had played on one at the pool hall. My wife and I immediately went to buy the GC, I paid for it right away but could not pick it up for 2 days. The seller also had a floor standing double sided Brunswick cue rack, the one that matches the early GCs, a Hoppe Titlist, and 10 Brunswick 1 piece cues that he asked if I wanted along with the Centennials, Brunswick rack and Brunswick table brush. It was like a time capsule from the early 70s. Anyway when the guy asked if I wanted the cue rack and cues I said "no, I don't want that stuff". Luckily on the way home my wife asked why I didn't want the cues and rack, I thought it was just cheap junk but she informed me it was Brunswick stuff so I called the owner and told him not to throw it away, I will take it. Luckily the guy we bought it from was very honest, he had several offers for his table many times more than what we paid but he told everyone its sold.
The pics are right after we bought table. It since was stained, modified sub-rails, new cushions, and Simonis.
Go give your wife a kiss for urging you to get the accessories. You hit a home run on this package for sure.
and as angryturtle said, that rack is Jetson all the way. I've seen these before and love them. With the back to back setup, you have room for 24 cues. :thumbup:
and now you can look for the matching brunswick bowling alley chairs. :wink:
best,
