Moving Table, Question about my 'new' slate

Hello,

As i posted a couple weeks ago, I'm going to be moving my table to a new house. Once there, I plan to have a pro come and set it back up.

When pulling off the cloth, I notice that there's a large spot at one of the seams with the slate that seems to be a patch job. For reference, I bought this table brand new from Diamond directly a few years ago. Is this normal procedure? I'm not naive that they will try to salvage an expensive slate piece, but I guess I'm surprised I received this on a new table.

This also answers the question I posted here several years ago regarding balls rolling funny and my installer never coming back to correct the issue.

Just curious on the pros' thoughts on this.

Thank you,

Man that's a rough job.
Looks like it's never been sanded off
Also the common practice of using the slate to mix the bondo rather than a mixing board is not a good look.

That's a pretty bad chip, but if properly dealt with, shouldn't cause any issues. Be very careful taking the slates apart, score the seam with a utility knife to help break the bondo. Whoever set that up was obviously in a hurry, and didn't spend much time getting things smoothed out.
