Jerimy Chambers 708.574.9888 - is one of the best kept secrets in Chicago for experienced high quality table work.
I originally had my table setup by an unnamed local mechanic installing Granito Basalt Cloth from Gorina.
I got the cloth for free as part of the cost of the table when I bought it. ( I guess it wasn’t free in retrospect)
Thanks to this forum I was able to find Glen “Realkingcobra”. He performed a miracle (IMO, just another job for him)
in recalibrating my rails with new Intercontinental Cushions (recommended by Glen)
Gorina is good... but it’s not Simonis. Simonis is what I play leagues on and is really, IMO, the benchmark for comparing
other cloths. I just never liked the Gorina cloth. Fortunately I bought some Simonis 860HR for $130! (yes, that is a
fantastic deal and no, there is none left at that price)
I called Simonis who recommended Jerimy Chambers. In canvassing the best pool rooms in Chicago Jerimy’s name repeatedly
came up. I literally kept looking for other names. It was sorta funny. “Who does your tables, who would you recommend?”
Jerimy Chamber… like a broken record!
I contacted Jerimy and was working with him to decide to re-stretch my Gorina cloth (for more speed) or just replace it.
As usual the best mechanics have work… they have more work than they can handle actually. The job was to re-level
the table, install the Simonis 860HR cloth. I won’t tell you how much he charged, but it was extremely reasonable. So
much so after the job I wanted to give him a tip. He wouldn’t accept one… and I’m not talking $5! I was in awe… You
see Jerimy is a 2nd generation mechanic. He started out doing rails until he was big enough to help carry the slates. It’s
in his blood. He charges a fair price for his work and that’s it.
All I can say is I have worked with the best mechanics on this table ( and the worst IMO ). Jerimy is not the kind of guy
to blow his own horn. He does what he does. End of story. He’s good. In Chicago he’s one of, if not THE best table
mechanic. Also restores tables, builds tables and makes pool cues. You’ll find his name mentioned on this forum a couple of times. Believe it.
