Gina & Tad refinishing?

[junksecret]

I have an old Tad & an old Gina, the Gina about 40 years old and the Tad about 30. I posted some poor quality photos of them in the for sale/wanted forums to ge an idea of value yesterday. Does anyone know if Ernie would refinish the Gina, and if so what he might charge, and the same question regarding Tad? Also does anyone think that refinishing them by their original maker would hurt the value? I haven't seen Ernie since he was in his garage in Sherman Oaks with his dad, or Tad since he was in a shop in Stanton, so any contact info would also be helpful.

Thanks,

Joe

Ginacue: 818-509-0453. Tad: 714-995-1644. Refinishing a cue does detract from value versus mint or new original. Having the original maker do the refinish work is usually a plus, IMO. In the case of Tad, I believe he is still using lacquer. If that finish works for you, he'd be the man. I'd weigh what I would get for the cues as is versus what they would expect to reasonable fetch with the refinish and expense+time associated with it.
