I don't go on FB. I was hoping someone would contact him. Seems to me to be the best way to go, just ask him.
Gallego's box-cue.....??

At what point in that vid can you make out a logo? I sure can't.
Click the pic in post #2. Same cue that i was shown on FB.
I have to get on my bike and roll ASAP. You understand.
I have 7 or 8 frame grabs so far. Looking for the best one.
Whe I first saw it I couldn't tell what it was, just that it was there. It could have been an artifact but I am seeing fuzzy evidence of it in other frames. I have had it up on a big high quality monitor.
So, I'll get back to it later. Hopefully not a wild goose chase or snipe hunt.
"Possibly Schon cue....
Really nice table in this match-
AMF GRAND PRIX- Built much like GC,
heavier frame construction AND THICKER SLATES...
Notice wooden side skirts , the side skirts finish kind of square on the bottom- nearing the ends.
Those tables were actually set up in Tulsa, for a brief time-
Galaxy Moo's brother Nick,
put in a small arcade across from Q spot on 31st in the strip center-
I took my kids to play in the arcade-I shot pool there-
place never got much traffic- closed-
dont know where the tables went-probably to galaxy and re-sold
It didn't have a Predator shaft when I saw the cue, and that would have been about 2000, give or take one or two. Bear in mind, at that period of time, guys hadn't largely gone to Predator shafts just yet, but that was to change shortly.
A bit of memory, the very first well-known tournament player I saw with a Predator shaft was Mike Davis, probably a little after that, playing in a tournament in Rockville, Maryland. That was the first-generation Predator shaft, which had a longer ferrule that later generations, but I could tell it was just a bit shorter than the standard one inch, so it did look different. The rest of course, is history, as a lot of guys went with Predator soon.
Doc, when I pass away, you may want to section my brain to see what kind of cue memories can be extracted.
1st generation 314 shafts aleady had a short ferrule, I got my first one in 98. maybe Davis had an early prototypeIt didn't have a Predator shaft when I saw the cue, and that would have been about 2000, give or take one or two.

We already have plans to cut you up. No worries. If it's in there, we'll find it.Doc, when I pass away, you may want to section my brain to see what kind of cue memories can be extracted.
The GP is easy to spot with its black trim. Nice tables. I like the old '60's version too.
Yes, blurry. But it's there.
Much bigger than a normal Schon logo. In fact, with this low resolution it would be unlikely to see the Schon logo.
It is something else. Personalization? Another brand? Can't tell yet.
My eyes are blurry from riding. When that calms down I will get back to this.
Maybe I will find a frame that has a more clear shot of it.
Or changed shirts. Gotta wash that stuff sometime.

You've probably never seen a real first-generation Predator shaft. It was 7/8th of an inch, not much shorter than a standard 1-inch ferrule. Here are the first three generations, top, the first, called Isoplast, second, called Titan, and third, not sure of the material name. You had to have a sharp eye to catch that the first was only slightly shorter.
To keep it thread-relevant, none of these were on Ramil's cue at first.
