I have a line on a 5x10 brunswick snooker table for 500 bucks. Just wondering if its possible or worth it to convert it to a pool table.

You want some of this?

Not a mechanic, but I think you will need new rails and corner castings.

I don't think you can just retrofit the pocket openings from snooker to pool, because of the dimensions of the corner castings.

Of course I can be wrong on this.

it is possible.
but thats a somewhat serious job, and will cost a bit.

that said, to me personally, a 10ft table is worth the expense.
to others, not so much.

but for the record, you should know that typically a "conversion" will most certainly cross over the "economic threshold". in other words, why spend money to 'fix' something old when a 'new' one will cost you less in the long run.
