Mag6240 Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 Our league plays on Diamond tables and all the guys on my team have upgraded their tables as well. Definitely makes you a better player. It’s always fun when you get asked to play a few games on a bar table which are almost all Valley’s.

Far closer to a Diamond than a typical bar box but much different as well. 38 minutes ago, Rod said: Smesh is with mega English Yes 33 minutes ago, gravy davey said: Butt sex? @f7ben Not on my new felt 24 minutes ago, SSFB said: Nice Benny.

Olhausen with simonis, beautiful woodwork. Same here , I had a very nice custom 8’ table in my last house and I couldn’t move it. The new owners wanted it so that was fine. Pool tables are like custom furniture. They have no value because they suck to move. I’ve moved several though and done enough table work that it doesn’t bother me. I don’t think I’ll let this table go though. I enjoy playing on it and it’s pretty unique. Never seen or heard of another one. They never caught on in the states 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokin george Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 I have a 9ft Black Crown coming once the basement is finished. The subfloor has pads under it where the legs will sit and the wiring is up for the light. I'm going with the tournament blue Simonis. It's going in that corner and will have plenty of room. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the span of that beam looks to be a pretty wide area. Basement looks like it will be nice and cozy when done with the floors and the icf walls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The builder asked me where the table was going and with the 1.5" Styrofoam under the sheathing he put in the pads for the legs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll take some pics of this table when I have it apart for you. The entire rail assembly is extruded aluminum with the rails and cushions mounted to the aluminum on a similar fashion to how a Diamond is. Same cushion profile as well. The rail assembly is hinged on one side and latched down to the slate at each pocket. It can be lifted on the hinges by releasing latches and it has gas shocks like a car hood. The one piece 1” slate bed sits on two aluminum bars on either end of the table that have jacking bolts. The slate is not leveled with the adjustable feet. The box is set and leveled and then the fine adjustment is done with the jacking bolts. The table is coin op but has no mechanical parts. When a coin is dropped in it actuates a small stepper motor which rolls the ball return and releases the balls. It’s a cool design. If it weren’t for the idiotic cost to purchase new I’m guessing they would have really caught on in league rooms. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
