Advice on repairing a Joss buttcap

Thanks for the advice guys. Guess I'll have to part with it for a minute. Gonna suck LOL. May as well go for the whole refinish/re-wrap package while I'm at it !
 
If you really want what is best for the cue then do what Mike Webb said, Send it to joss and have it done. I think having it repaired by the original maker will help keep the value of the cue also if you ever plan to sell it.
It would also be a good chance to have any thing else done at the same time, Always best to have work done by the original maker as far as keeping the value of the cue up. If you cant do that then Mike Webb would be who I would have fix it,

Best thing is to send it to Joss. The model is N7, if there's no trademark on the buttcap then is out of the 1985 series probably. If the Joss name apppears on the buttcap then is the 1994 0r 1995 series. I think later on they re-made the cue without the spears in-between the points and also called it Model N7. It gets confusing :)

So it's an 85' N7 (Still dead straight BTW), Thanks, that helps !

I would guess the cue to be from that era, but soon after 1985. The '85 cues had the date on the butt collar.

Rod had one for sale recentlly.

Enclosed is a picture of mine, which is also perfectly straight (butt and both shafts).

You'll be happy you sent this to the Janes gang for the refresh.

Sorry I missed that one, I have a feeling I'm going to be starting a classic Joss collection :rolleyes:

There's truly something special about this cue when you hold it.
