i have a chance to pick up a 9ft amf playmaster table for 500 bucks. i wanted to see if anyone had any thoughts or opinions on these tables. it is a slate table. i am not looking for a diamond or gold crown quality. the table is going to be kept in a detached garage with no way to stabilize the temperature so i am looking simply for a practice table. the price sounds good, the pics look great - it's owned by an older couple who are selling thier house. i am going to look at it tomorrow but just wanted to know if they are so hideous that i should avoid it like the plague.

haha, I just located it on CL as you put these pics up.

Assuming the slate is in good shape it looks like a great deal. IIRC those are very decent tables and it sounds perfect for your situation.

I did my diamond pro with

Socket set with extensions
Wrench set
Screwdrivers
Razor knife to seperate slates

Power drill would help with speed but not totally needed.

Don't forget a staple puller! lol I know that job all to well.


In the 8' Playmasters there are screws and bolts to pull out from the underside.

Do yourself a favor and either get some knee pads or one of those rolling things mechanics use to lay down on. Trust me when i tell you that crawling around the table on your back with each bit needed is painful. :smile:

take the slate apart, lay it in your truck bed wood down, and put blankets or old cloth between each piece so it doesnt break and drive slow. :wink:
