This is my second Fisher. My first was somewhere around 1982-3. $60 For the slate(marble) and rails. I had a waterbed shop and had it up and running in a day.
Can't remember if that was before or after my 9' franken table, Wendt from early 1900's and Brunswick and uhm junk find. That is a long story....
This is now officially my best table yet. By the way Glen did give me some very valuable knowledge with the Franken table.
So back to the table. I had to finish glueing in the pocket liners. It is still amazing how level that slate plays. Never a hint of a Valley Roll. I left the pockets and rails stock. With good craftsmanship with the training from some of the best. I am proud of the way it plays, not the way it looks.
Yes the Fisher does have potential. What was that saying, "Body by Fisher."?
Oh Crap! Did I mention that I made my first pool table, in 1974? Another long story. Heh heh! :wink:
My list of home tables - Sport King came first when I was in my early 20's, Gold Crown I after closing my first pool hall, Gandy came after my divorce, back to a great older Sport King set up by Ernesto that got a lot of action, Gold Crown III on the deck outside my apartment when I was raising my oldest daughter, Brunswick Gipson which I ended up selling to Tate, Gold Crown IV in my new house, and finally the Diamond Pro-Am I have now.
Other tables I bought and never installed included a beautiful Anniversary and a Gold Crown V, the coolest table of all imo. That's the table I wish I had kept. The second Sport King (by Ernesto) may have played the best of them all! I never had a bar table in my home and won't either . Okay, okay, I might put a Diamond Smart 7' table in if that's all I had room for. At least it's a real pool table.
