Cuemakers and Acme pin?

[mjantti]

Anyone know cuemakers that make cues/shafts with Acme pin? I have a nice Scruggs with Acme pin and now it seems it might be difficult to order a new shaft straight from him I might consider other possibilities. Any advice?

I don't think you'll have trouble here. Picking a maker is the hardest part. Is it 5x16-14 or 3x8-10? Also pics of the ringwork will help. To make it perfect the maker would need the cue

I believe its 3/8-10 with double silver rings and an ivory ferrule. And the cue is an excellent Tim Scruggs. Would also be nice to know a price estimate for such a shaft w/ international shipping.

A few pics:

All Scruggs cues with an acme pin are 3/8X10. Mike Gulyassy still uses this pin in his cues. His email is mike@babysproshop.com
The other known acme is 5/16X14, I only know of two that use this one, Bill Stroud and myself.

Phillippi has used that pin before.
