Good one, the only trouble with a pool table is it leaves less room for pinball machines.

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 !  ^^^ ^^^ ^^^

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  ^^^

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.... () ^^^ *)*

good to see garages better used for toys, which means we all own rusty cars  %.%
