What kind of Ferrari do you have if you dont mind me asking?
How about a Ford Tempo/Dodge Omni/Chevrolet Chevette taking the place of the Olhausen compared to a Lexus for the Diamond analogy???

They wouldn't if they had Brunswick cushions.:wink:
Don't kill the messenger.
That was told to me by a top-shelf mechanic/table rebuilder.
Probably the premier one.
That would be closer comparison :thumbup: But not sure you have to call Olhausen a Chevette, that's just mean. They are good tables, just NOT great tables. And certainly you will never play on many Olhausens in leagues or tourneys, usually
I have owned my F355 Berlinetta for 15 years.
I have put 40,000 total miles on it, and 5,000 track miles on it.
Just curious, what your total maintenance and repair costs have been in 15 years, ball park figure
Had an SL600 with a v-12 for 4 years, and the upkeep was ridiculous. I can only imagine what yours was 
If you had any money you could find out how weak my bank game is....

No thanks, you're on my no fly list anyway
What year is it?
Not sure what year but it is a Blue label smart table. It may just be me but I've had to make an adjustment.
When was the cloth replaced last?
Reason why i compare toyota to a diamond is becoz of the price tag.
I can play on both table prob enjoy playing more in a diamond .
Both does the job but a diamond is prob triple the price.
Peace , not interested in getting into a word battle.
Just my 2 cents
I had the bed and rails re-covered with 860 early in August of this year.
As a former Olhausen owner, one of the top models and a current Diamond Pro owner, there is no comparison.
The Olhausen rattle is truth and it sucks. Rails were not bad but I hated the pocket cut. My Diamond has pro cut pockets and plays 100 times better IMHO.
Would never go back to the Olhausen. Have a great table mechanic put the Diamond up is a big part of it. Jack Zimmerman is the bomb!

Does it get worse as the cloth ages?
Thanks
I already have a 9' Rebco with Simonis 860 HR and it is plenty of table for this old guy. I wish it was a Diamond as that is what is in the Palace in Anchorage and I really like them.
A couple of times a year I travel up there for tournament play. I know I would be more competitive if I was playing on those tables a few times a week, but 150 miles is to far to travel for that.
A place in Anchorage sells Olhausen, but no one sells Diamonds. Shipping one to Anchorage and finding some one competent to set it up correctly would also be difficult and pricey.
I really appreciate the info guys, Since I am 66 I probably will stick with what I have and hope a used one shows up in Alaska.
I can use it as a lame excuse for not winning!
