Their asking price is $1500. It's already taken apart, with pictures mapping how it goes back together. The slate is on a pallet (3 pieces), and the base and table is one piece.
My wife bought a ca 1926 9' BBC "Royal" at auction last year and i'm still working up to restoring it (she knew what she was doing - it forces me to do work on the house delayed for past 20 yrs, such as pouring piers, setting steel W8 ("I beams") and lally columns in multiple places in the cellar so far. Then there's the actual remodeling upstairs still to be done
)
Relating to your table Q's: She paid $400. When i go there & took the table apart, a mover onsite took pity & "volunteered" 2 muscle bound kids to carry the slates downstairs from the second floor pool room and put them on my truck to help "those poor old folks
". I tipped them a $50 each. So total cost was $500 + some gas.. Buddy helped me unload in shop. (He might not still be my buddy, though, not sure).
Some things about your table look better, some maybe worse (skirts). Wife's has one slate that will need a couple significant repairs that don't affect playing field, but have to be done well to hold T-rails on.
After removing the center & cross pieces, your table frame should come apart into 2 each end sections consisting of 2 legs and stretcher connecting them; and then just 2 long thick heavy dimension rails. Look on the inside faces for the pocket bolts.
My wife's table was originally ball return, but has been "converted" to drop pockets in the past. I'd like to put it back to ball return, but the drop pockets are quicker, and to some extent may look nicer than the original ball return style. Depends how well done they are.
Your rail caps are Brazilian rosewood, but that might not matter depending how you decide to reduce the pockets and re-cut the rail angle for modern rubber. Sometimes the pocket irons have split them as well so might be better to just make new rails and subrails if you have the facility & some really hard wood for caps, like pau fero, bocote, or such. Some tables of that style were actually quartersawn white oak; and relatively dense mahogany or African mahogany would work. So would black walnut if dense boards are selected. Skirts on yours should be mahogany. The ones in the picture look like 1 x 4's from Lowe's. They don't do anything, so might be perfectly adequate if you throw a faux finish on.
I'm curious about the "knobs" that sort of seem to be sticking out from under the rails in some of your photos - is it a convertible table?
