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.
