I bought my first table about 6 months ago off of craigslist. I had a "pro?" come level it and asked about having the rubber replace and put simonis 860 on it. he said the rubber was good, "I can tell that they are bad, and i'm no pro." Next he did a horrible job stretching the cloth, and claimed that simonis cloth has to be stretched twice so he wasn't gonna spend alot of time on something he would have to do over. This table has just been a money pit, and still doesn't play to the level that i would like. I have a chance to buy a nice used gold crown and have a company that knows what they are doing level this one. It is just surprising that there is a lot of bad pool table mechanics out there. There are also some really good ones!
