Having worked on them and other tables I'm sure you know alot more than me about them. But when I shot on this AMF the other day. I was sold on it after about 5 minutes. The rails were very lively hitting 4 and 5 rails with just a medium stroke. The balls rolled dead straight I was very impressed. I couldn't get my money out fast enough. But now the fun really begins tearing it down, hauling it up out of a basement, loading, unloading and putting it back together. But before that I have to sell and tear down my 7 foot Olhausen. Then brace up the floor joices in my poolroom. I use it have an old nine foot Brunswick in there and over the years the floor must have weakened a little cause the slates shifted and that happened again with the Olhausen. So i'm going to make sure that it dosen't happen again. BANGER
