Vintage early 80's TAD-1-M (BEM player)

want to talk about buying

I have a real interest in purchasing this cue. Two small problems. 1) tomorrow is Christmas(actually right now it is Christmas am) and I can't do any business until tonight after 8 pm,2) I need to talk to you on the phone about this so we are clear as to how this will take place. My phone number is 315 952 5969. Please don't call untill after 8 pm Christmas night. Thank you and Merry Christmas.
 
Lovely Tad!

I PLAYED FULL TIME WITH THE EXACT CUE FOR ABOUT 3 YEARS, I WORE ALL THE FINISH OFF IT, I USED IT SO MUCH. I PAID $950 FOR MINE IN ABOUT 90-91. I WON A PILE OF $$ WITH IT, IT WAS THE 2ND "BIG" CUE i EVER OWNED. tHE FIRST BIG CUE I LIKED AND DID I LIKE IT. AFTER THE FINISH WAS GONE I ASKED JERRY FRANKLIN AT SOUTHWEST TO GIVE IT A NEW PAINT JOB, HE SPRAYED CUES GOOD AS ANYONE EVER. I ASKED HIM TO SAVE THE WRAP, HE COULDNT GUARANTEE THAT HE COULD, I SAID"SAVE IT ANYWAYS, WINKIED AT HIM AND LEFT" A FEW WEEKS LATER I GOT THE CALL THE WRAP WAS STILL THERE DIRTY, BROKE IN, PERFECT. THE FINISH JERRY DID WAS PERFECT. SHORTLY AFTER JERRY PASSED AWAY, I RETIRED THE CUE THE MOMENT I GOT THE CALL, I STILL HAVE THAT CUE AND TAKE IT OUT AND PLAY WITH IT FROM TIME TO TIME. ITS ONE OF THE BEST HITTING CUES I HAVE EVER OWNED.

YOUR PRICE IS A GREAT DEAL, THE WOOD IN THAT CUE IS VERY VERY OLD AND WITH OUT A DOUBT PLAYS BETTER THAN ANY NEW TAD FOR THAT REASON ALONE.

PS: TO ME THIS IS THE PERFECT PLAYER CUE, NOT TO FANCY BUT HAS A BIT OF NICE WORK IN IT, JUST THE RIGHT AMOUNT.

The first cue I ever really liked was a Tad also, after playing with and Adam, Viking and Schrager I had Tad make me one of these and I was a solid ball better player immediately. That was the only "game improvement" cue I've ever owned.

The shaft on this cue is newish (not very very old), not to say that even Tad's new shafts aren't "old" wood, I imagine they are. I remember when I bought my Tad in 1977, he showed me a pile of wood he had and told me that when that pile was done, so was he, but I'm betting he wasn't imagining still being in that shop in 2011. Good for him.

This cue won't make it through the day.

Thanks
