This is the pool table I bought for the senior center in my town.I found an 8 foot os Gandy in very nice shape.It did not appear to have been recovered too many times for an old table.Jones Bros replaced the cushions and the cloth and the install was pretty straightforward . I saw that they used a machinist level even. The table plays great,the pockets are pretty generous but is okay for the skill set here. I did buy a better ball set but stuck with their standard cloth, made by Brunswick . It is a bit nappy and slow but I think it will get faster over time.I am very happy,money well spent in my opinion .
new table

BigG. Play fine. Played on a bunch of them back in the 80's. Not a GC for sure but a helluva addition to your center. Have fun.

I did the same thing years ago for a local boys club. I gave him a nice gold crown that I had in storage. Of course in a few months they just sold it claiming it took up too much room and nobody used it anyway. Of course they could have just contacted me and I would have come and got it.
nice table but what is that cue?
Looks like a Bob Owen tribute cue to me. A friend had one built like that.
I like gandys , been trying to get one for myself
Cool story, azbro!
Seriously!

Yeah it has that Buska look that caught my eye.
Maybe an Adam tribute cue?
Very generous and will be used/appreciated. Nice of you to do that.
As for Gandy my first table (1979) was the Gander Hustler. Could not afford the Big G. I had a blast with that Gandy. It was a butcher block look with a fuzzy chocolate cloth. Centennial ball set.

No ADAM. Here's my buddies BO: 552a- https://www.shurtzcue.com/ Click 'Sold' and 500 series. Awesome cue. Bob does killer work.
Gar is correct. My cue is an Owen Bushka tribute cue I got from Ted,,,cuesblues here on AZB .
I hope the table gets some use by more than just me,the centers director was very pleased. He did let me know that once I donated it it was theirs to do with as they wish. On the plus side they will take care of any work in the future. Let's hope it doesn't end up in the mayors office.

Bob has made a few tributes, some 'bushka's and Petersons too. Unreal work. My buddie Charlie may have sold his. Might be your cue. Buy it new or used?
552. #'s are above the cues. its the op's in his pic.
My buddy Charlie bought one exactly like it. May have different joint rings but other than that they're twins. I think his was meant for Dean but Bob called him and said he had a buyer in the shop so Charlie got it and Bob made deano another one.
And here's where this thread goes sideways
no more pool table conversation, now its about cues
To me pool tables are boring.And here's where this thread goes sideways
Cues are interesting.
Pool tables look like the slabs they lay the stiff’s on……
