Huge pin.

I had a customer come in that was "playing karate" with his cue and splintered the shaft. Shaft is splintered too bad to really do much with it. So, I've been trying to find a shaft for him. Problem is that the pin is huge. I don't have the tap and probably wouldn't be worth it to buy it.

I've never seen this type pin before. That wouldn't surprise me, but this is a Players cue. Model # 145. Anyone know where I could find a shaft for it? I've been doing Google searches, etc., With no luck. I'm guessing this is a lost cause, but I can at least tell me customer that I tried.

Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.

Gotta love it....
What are we looking at in your picture? it appears the pin has glue on top of it. What is in the threads? wood? glue?
Definitely not your average run joint pin.
Certainly not finished off on the tip like a joint pin should be.
Is that what we're looking at... the joint pin?
Something seems off....

That's the pin in the butt. The wood in the threads is just wood from the shaft breaking.

It's the insert stuck on the bent pin

Ok, just put some vice grips on it and you guys are correct. It is the insert. The pin looks to be bent, it was holding the insert tightly. Thanks for the help. I learn something new every day.
Thanks to all!

Now heat up the pin, back it out, install a new one and make sure it's in there straight with a dial indicator.
 
Yeah, I guess I had a "duh" moment. I should have figured that, but the insert was tight because of the bent pin. Oh well, live and learn. I've done a few pin installs, so I'll fix him up now. Thanks for all the help.
