Handmade by his father in 1969, in great condition for it's age.
All working coin mech and locks.

Thanks again Nino, my brother and i had a few games after we got her set up and level.
Thought i was doin quite well, won first 3 games in a row, till we discovered there were 2 more small balls than bigs!! @.@

Post by: ajlaird on July 03, 2010, 10:13:35 PM: Good one, the only trouble with a pool table is it leaves less room for pinball machines.

Post by: Duckman on July 03, 2010, 10:17:50 PM: Tell me about it, I have no idea where i will put my spacies and wcs. &^&
But i'll just have to re-organise when the time comes. &&

Post by: Caveoftreasures on July 03, 2010, 10:33:31 PM: i bought a brand new pool table. it lasted about 2 months before i gave it away to a mate for free cause the pinballs were complaining that the big green guy was taking too much room.

always great to play some pool whilst drinking bourban !

well done duckman. well done nino, another mancave ! ^^^ ^^^ ^^^

Post by: Strangeways on July 03, 2010, 10:59:20 PM: No worries Tim - Glad you a piece of my family history is in your gamesroom. I told you it was a heavy table mate #@#

I thought Dad said it was made in 1965 - but he was making them right up to 1974, as I have pictures of me as a child playing inside an incomplete table. Was interesting to note - That this table style of table was the fist coin operated billiard table in Australia. The FIRST table is still in storage and will remain in the family with the first Soccar table (in my gamesroom).

I blame Dad for not counting the balls mate - Let me know what you need and I'll post them to you. I'll check with Daniel's set tomorrow.

Enjoy it mate ^^^

Title: Re: My Playroom
Post by: Duckman on July 04, 2010, 12:08:27 AM: Thanks Daniel, she's certainley solid i'll tell ya that. Looks real good, i plan on buffing the metal peices of it (coin mech, and metal corners) give it a bit of bling. ^^^

Just been on ebay rounding up some accessories, Table brush, cover, chaulk holder and "special cue" just for me. LOL

Post by: yourdreamin on July 04, 2010, 12:17:35 AM: arrrrrr love the mancave aint pool tables grand but not when you move them, how quickly friends dissapear when you have to, and it always reminds me off a photo of a russian weight lifter that poped his sphinkter (spelling?)
Title: Re: My Playroom
Post by: Duckman on July 04, 2010, 12:24:08 AM: Thanks YD, As i said to Dan it sure is solid. The one upside of moving it to it's new home was that we didn't have to get it through any small doorways once we got home. My brother and i, one each end. First the base then the slab. Wasn't so bad, sent my sis out for fish and greasies and enjoyed an arvo of music, pool and drinks.

AHHHHH, this is the life.... () ^^^ *)*
