You might want to pose this question in "Ask the Mechanic" forum also. If you are not knowledgeable about tables perhaps you could have a professional table mechanic accompany you when you go to look at it. That's what I did before deciding to buy my GC1. Saved me a couple of hundred on the asking price.
in my opinion, its mostly price. They almost all need some kinda work. Either rails, cosmetic, etc. They are 50 years old and who knows what kind of life they have lived.
If you can get it at a good price, just assume it will need a bit of work. Then its all about hiring a good mechanic. Do you have pics maybe we can help further?
btw, I am not a mechanic.

Above tables ? did you forget to post pics ?
Matching Slate, one Head middle and Foot slate.
All Rail screws should be 18 for the rail, and i think another 18 for the side skirts.
six pocket castings two sides four corners.
pocket inserts should say two head, two foot and two side pockets one that read right and left, if it comes with ball return system.
Ball return system if is comes with one.
i know i missed a lot, but RKC will chime in with his Vast Knowledge

I saw all the pics on CL. Although cosmetically it looks a bit beat up, its nothing some wood filer and paint cant fix. Its not always a tell tale sign, but the formica looks in good shape. This can be a sign its not been covered too many times and hasn't been in a pool hall. Most pool hall GC formicas I have seen are beat to death from hammers and recovers. Also the fact it has the plastic aprons. They are so fragile, if it had been recovered lots of times, they probably would have broke or been thrown away.
I would have no problem paying 1k for it. I would expect to redo the paint/cosmetics and also the cushions. If the cushions happen to be good, that's even a better deal.
Again, no mechanic here.

You can lay them down for transportation. Be sure you have some support under the bottom slate so it lays flat.

I didn't say it wasn't worth anything , but it's not worth $6100 , and that's how your title reads .
Did you see a dollar sign in front of the number?
It's a model #. If I was paying that kind of money I'd be looking at a diamond.
Ralph, thanks the slates are crated in wood. The lady had a mechanic take the table apart.
You sure are a sensitive type of fella.
