Help Identifying Snooker Table

I was just given a snooker table by the local university, and am trying to figure out which model it is.

So far I haven't found any relevant markings. Just a silver tag identifying the college, as well as a "5x10" mark on a beam underneath.


I've attached some images. Does anybody recognize this?

To me it looks like a Murrey pro 6400 series table.

no offense but what makes you think its a snooker table?

i cant really tell from the pic, are the cushions rounded at the pocket?
 
Table

Murrey 6400 was only available in snooker&carom on the 10' table. Walnut laminate was standard.
That's a snooker table' notice the rail length and sights..
1200lbs of table..2x6 table frame and 1 inch slate.
Not a desired table of mine, red pocket liners was a popular look in the 60's-70's.
-The tables looks to be on a poolroom, bet it's been used&abused...
Most refer to those older tables like that as >firewood'

Yes, the pockets have rounded corners.

You're right, it does look like a 6400.

The table has outer cosmetic wear but I think the slate is good. Fortunately, this pool room has been hardly used, and has been very tame due to the location on campus (across from book store, bordering study area, daytime hours). Back when I used the room, everyone avoided this table because we thought the pockets were weirdly small :).
 
I can't find much about this online. I'm under the impression it's 3-piece slate, does anyone know if that's the case?

topline table

i'm fairly sure this is a topline from about 1980, which was a brandname used by national out of ciincinnati...pocket corner irons look identical. earlier toplines looked very different....oak valley pr here in gnashville had 10 of em in the 1980s......ten foot snooker is still there. it is ok except that the rail tops are too high and cushions slant down too much to reach the right height on the 2/1/8 balls. result is that you have to jack up a LOT to avoid miscue when frozen to rail. i suspect they used the same rail wood for the snooker that they used for pool, maybe even the same rubber. used snooker table prices are way low and a very tough seel in todays bad real estate market. i see it as not over $500. i would not buy one if the rails are as tall as the local one here. great selection of snookers out there cheap if a buyer is willing to wait for a "must sell by friday" deal

Click to expand...

Do you have a link to a pic of a similar topline? I can't seem to find one that matches as well as the Murrey Pro 6400.

Side note... This was given to me for free :) It's in my basement now and plays very nice.
 
top line table

i will be at oak valley lanes soon and i will take a close look at that table and make sure it is the same.. one interesting note, none of the top line tables in that pr had any nameplate on the rail. room proprietor who bought the tables new told me the brand. they all had big pockets. and played good except for the weird rail height on the snooker.

I am very familiar with toplines. That is not one, toplines do not have stretchers or those apron mitres. The rail castings and rail lamination is very similar though. BTW i need a set of rail castings like that and apron mitres for a topline if anybody has or could get there hands on them.
