Used Pool Table Questions
By admin | January 18, 2008
Hello
Wife and I are going to be looking for a used table and we have a few questions.
We'll be getting an 8' standard 3 piece slate table w/ drop pockets - probably a used Olhausen or Brunswick, possibly an economy 3 piece slate such as Silver Leaf.
Is the felt 'always' stabled to the slate bed? I've seen the spray-on adhesive, I assume that is for the cheaper 'slatron' tables. Can the felt be re-used? Or, does removing the felt destroy it?
We plan on using a local service for assembly and leveling.
However, I'm considering do the disassembly and moving myself.
I have a 3/4 ton truck, I'm mechanically inclined, and have learned to take things slow as I've aged [;)]
Anyone have a link for disassembly of tables? I assume remove, rails, felt, wax for accessing the bolts,etc...
I'd use a pallet strapped down in the truck to prevent movement and then place the slate on the pallet w/ moving blankets and/or 2x4's between the slate for transport w/ the slate strapped to the pallet.
I figure if I transport the table I can work out a better deal for installation to include new felt for what a traditional move/install would cost.
Thoughts, suggestions, links???
Thanks
Steve
