I have recently inherited my Granddad's 6ft Valley coin-operated bar pool table. I think it was made in the 60's but haven't found serial numbers to track that down yet.
I'm sure I'll be browsing threads in the future for tips on refurbishing the playing surface, but first thing's first: getting a place to set it up.
Until I've got a space prepped, my question is: do I have the table safely stored? Currently, it is in a climate-controlled spare bedroom, with the legs removed, on it's side with the ball return drawer facing up (see attached images).
I'm a little concerned about the weight of the slate damaging the frame, but really have no idea how these things were constructed. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
I'm excited to own the pool table I've played on my entire life and to be a member of this group.
