I hope to get some advice from you experts here. I'm in the process of purchasing a used Diamond Professional 8-foot table. It has 3-piece slates, and drop pockets. The person I'm buying it from lives about 500 miles away in Georgia, so I'm going to have to hire someone to take apart the table and get it ready for transport, probably someone else to transport it, and then finally someone to install the table at my home in the Richmond VA area. I have several questions. (1) I assume I can hire any reputable mechanic to take the table apart and prepare it for shipment. Do you agree? If not, what questions should I be asking, etc. (2) I'll probably contract someone to transport it. As long the table would be securely protected from the elements, and as long as they carefully load and unload it, and secure and pad all the parts, no special training or expertise other than the knowledge of experienced movers should be required. Correct? (3) I know Diamond tables have a unique leveling system and perhaps other unique features. Do I need a Diamond factory trained mechanic to install this? Or is this a job that any good, skilled mechanic should have the skills to tackle? Of course, I understand it may be a different matter to identify said good, skilled mechanic!
