Greeting All, I am posting this here because above all I love to tinker with stuff and feel I have more in common with the folks in this particular forum than the "Serious" players and competition players. Old guy here 58, played a little bar pool back in the day, nothing special. Have not played for 15-20 years. So, anyway, I have this weird ass shaped room in my house that I have not been able to figure out what to do with. It dawned on me a month ago that it would be the perfect size and shape for a Valley table. I started shopping, not real serious, no real hurry. well on Friday I saw a very nice looking early 90s table for $600.00. It was 4 hours away so I wasn't interested. Turns out I was the only guy that seemed remotely serious that called him out of dozens of calls so he lowered the price to $300.00, I packed up the son, the wife and the SIL and drove to Jacksonville. Trying to play it cool but actually very excited about it. Today, I own a pool table. I made the trip just based on some so-so photos so I was worried. Everything About the table seems true, straight and level. The only flaw is that the table is one of the maple colors and the ball door is a different wood laminate. Anyway, going to be getting this cleaned up and leveled.
Id like to thank all you guys posting here. I did a ton of research lurking on here. I have read hours of threads in this forum enough so that I felt very confident driving 4 hours, inspecting a table myself, loading a table myself (with help)and moving it 4 hours back to my place. Thanks Ya'll.
