If you are going to restore them, McDermott's refurbishing service is the way to go. New shaft, new wrap (linen or leather) and refinish for $235.

Tap,Tap,Tap Hard to beat that price with a new shaft... BTW some of the butt caps and Joints on the older cues have to be change. Jamie over at Mcdermott was telling me about this. when I was thinking about refinishing a D-11. Some thing about there new finish would not work on the old butt caps and joints.

The D line cues are generally considered some of the best production cues ever made - they're the pinnacle of McDermott's output. McD told me they were having joint collars & butt caps made by a contracted company, and didn't find out until late that these people were using silicone in the molds to keep parts from sticking. That's why you see so many D line cues (I own 2 - one is a one off) with finish chipping at the joint collar & butt cap. Many of the ones they use to re-finish (including one of mine) they ground a chamfer on the joint collar finish to avoid having a hard, square edge, and thus inhibit chipping.
They're real nice cues.
