Ashtrays
If you buy that table and put replacement castings on it, the ashtray castings are sellable or even just the ashtrays themselves. How I heard it was when they stopped letting people smoke around the table, and they didn't follow the rules, they just took out the ashtrays and left the castings with the hole in them. Over time the ashtrays get lost and that is why they are many tables with ashtray castings and NO ashtrays!!JMO
NICE find!!

Very good point. The ashtrys can be sold. Also if you want to get rid of them I have heard of people making very nice inserts out of stained wood or padded leather to go in the ashtray hole.
Classic Billiards has the wood inserts.

This GCIV http://huntsville.craigslist.org/spo/1856725475.html would probably be a better deal if they are willing to negotiate. Its been around Craigslist for over a month now but dang it, a 9 is too big for my stance in my "billiards parlor" ... and I ain't changing my stance :angry:.
GC2, as 1's didn't have the ashtray option at the time, pocket castings were quite a bit thinner on the 2's as well, which is why the ashtrays were added.
