For Sale - Billard Tables
« on: June 27, 2010, 10:28:46 PM »

Time for a cleanout. I have TWO Billiard tables for sale. Both located in Melbourne, but they need to be gone within a month. This is the first table.

History - Tables were made in the 60's by my Father. He made around 20. Three are still being used. These two were removed from operation and stored in the early 90's. They are not the cheap rubbish that were made in the 70's etc - These are HEAVY tables made of hardwood and english slate. Round and square legs as seen in the pictures.

Condition - Complete (as far as I can tell) - I will source the balls and cues - have plenty of them. The coin mechs and internal mechanisms are complete - I cannot find the keys. I guess they can be played on it their current condition. They can be recovered (re felted?) by many of the business' out there that deal with these. I don't have the felt or the time to work on them, so I'm offerring them cheap.

Pickup - They are located in the "Storage Building" in Melbourne. You will need to provide your own transport. You could hire a professional Removal company, or organise a Budget truck and a team of big blokes. I moved these with four guys and a budget truck. The slate is removed from the cabinet for transport. Please keep in mind these are HEAVY - don't turn up with your 15 year old son and mini minor !

Size - 4ft 6inches X 8ft 2inches

Price - $250 EACH. Cheap and ready to go. I can provide measurements and more pictures. They MUST be gone within 4 weeks.

Here are pictures of the first table;















Feel free to ask questions - I'll do my best to answer !

Yep - Thanks Gav  ^^^ - I want them gone, so they are priced to move. Heavy buggers, but not impossible to move with four blokes ! I have kept the very first table he made (restored), and behind these tables an item of interest awaits ;



A "Bumper Pool" table - fully restored. Again - Hand made by my Father. I think I'm keeping this  #@#


So I HAVE to move the older tables - no choice !

Great price Nino....Certainly would be well built tables.

I'm happy to lend a hand if someone buys one locally to get it out of the storage.

If you need an extra hand this weekend I am freer than usual, especially on the Saturday all day, or Sunday afternoon.
