And the feet on the table I posted were just like the ones on your table to begin with, but I turned them into adjustable leg levelers, I didn't buy the adjustable leg levelers and convert the pedestals to adapt them.

Told you to call me

RKC- sorry I haven’t called yet. Going to when I get to legs. I really would like to turn the feet into levers.

Been able to get a little done on the the table. I’ve got all the old paint off the wood. Pedestals, aprons and ball box. Had to do a little repair on one of the pedestals but I’m pretty pleased on how it turned out. Also, hit the ashtray corners with some bar keepers friend. They cleaned up pretty good.

So, other projects have gotten in the way of the pool table, but getting back to it. Last night pulled some staples to see how rails and cushions looked. The old Monarch rubber is not hard at all, still feels good! However, are these shims that someone has put on the rails? Didn’t think the rails looked too bad, as in stapled out, but this is my first pool table, so opinions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Those are the original pocket facings, they need replaced with 3/16" 60 durometer neoprene facings.

Wow, the rails are in pretty nice shape! I would replace those rusty bolts and clean up (tap) all the threads in the rails.

Soaked in white vinegar for about 20 minutes and then hit them with a wire brush.

I'm surprised that they cleaned up so nice with such a short soak, I usually let stuff soak overnight using vinegar.
