The table is a 9x4.5 ft. Brunswick Balke Arcade. 1.5 inch slate, about 2700 pounds according to the book. Rosewood rails and mother of pearl & abalone diamonds and inserts around the table. Built the 1920's. I bought it 15 years ago from a local dealer, Danny Vegh, and he got it out of a house near here in Shaker Heights, OH. Plays like dream. What I think is cool....the wooden railed ball return system under the table. It is completely silent.
It was always a dream of mine to hunt the dark continent. What did you use to take the dagga's? Caliber? Picture?

I figured it out
The newest addition to my home... Found on Craigslist for a really, really reasonable price!
Packaged included :
- :thumbup:9' Axiom 3-piece 1" slate table with black base and tiger striped maple wood all the way around.
:thumbup: Custom made cue case (made by previous owner, who is a carpenter)!
:thumbup: 4-element pool table light
:thumbup: Autographed 3-ball by Jeannette Lee & 9-ball by Earl Strickland
:thumbup: Framed & autographed photos of Paul Newman & Jeannette Lee
:thumbup: Framed copy of TCOM movie script signed by Martin Scorsese, Paul Newman, Tom Cruise, Helen Shaver & John Turturro
A family of cockroaches....
Aside of that, the room contains a 46" Sony Bravia smart TV that is hardwired to my home computer network and a vintage sound system that includes a Yamaha amp, Sansui tuner, Pioneer LD player (which is also a 5-disk CD changer) a Pioneer turntable and a perfectly working Nakamichi Dragon tape deck. The speakers are JBLs that I bought back in '89 when I was in the service... I have been spending lots of time in this room lately.![]()
Install was done by former pro player Tony Crosby and his team, who did a great job hauling and putting the table together with new Simonis 860.
And the roaches that came with the table are gone.![]()
