(I first posted this in Talk to a Table Mechanic, but figured the Main Forum couldn't hurt either.)
A friend just bought an old Brunswick pool table on Craigslist. He thought he was buying a 9-footer. Once he got there, he discovered it's a 10-footer. He was disappointed because it's not what he wanted, but it was a good price and a long drive, so he figured he'd load it up and bring it home.
Before they started breaking it down, they discovered something very odd: it's a convertible table. Under the middle of each rail is a metal lever to disconnect the rails (you can barely see the lever in the second picture under the Brunswick label). Other rails can be attached, so that the table can be changed from a pool table, to a snooker table, to a billiard table.
Anybody know anything about these tables? I can get more info from him if need be. He just wants to know what the heck he's got.
Thanks!
