Is this a valley coin op?

That is an older Valley, pre Cougar, probably circa 1960's. They were pretty solid tables and set up for the big ball.
Very cool looking. It’s still a Valley though.
I was trying to identify it, most pictures that I have found, have the typical round feet on the table, did this have it also? And is just missing? Just curious. It is a cool find.
Why "noMoreSchon"?
Ah yes, for the price is the key. Sometimes it is worth waiting if they think it's valuable. If it's been on craigslist a long time. Make an offer is my MO.
Rail blocks are held on with lag screws. Valley didn't use rails bolts and rail nut inserts back then, but yep, Jay nailed it.
Well, the price is $350.
I am going to pass, nice piece though. Having a 9 footer, and a 6 footer isn't in my future.
I bought a similar table for $60. The owner was paying monthly for a storage locker. Of course I have seen the other side when I sold a nice Dynamo for $100. Well we sold the house and they didn't want the table.
Time was of the essence to close.

I would assume that is bad, care to elaborate?

If you have the serial number, you can get the month of manufacture from the Valley website.
I have one like this, but someone poached the leveling feet off of this table. You should be able to install new ones, there are threaded inserts inside the pedestals

Yes bad, because wood screws strip out fairly easily.
However, you can make new rails for it with threaded inserts like a modern Valley. I did this on mine and it is rock solid
Also, wood screws won't give you the locational accuracy as bolts/T nuts.
They strip out the holes.
