For Paul (pwd72s)
 

Fixed it for you.. ;)

Talk about a flat top end...

I didn't know if he went over there.

A little white box with a red x? Nope, never go there...

Which is why I fixed the link for Milt... ;)

which is why I'm not clicking on it...

Whatever, Paul. Tried to do a nice thing.

I see a pic. No box, no link. WTF?

Yep, that's what I got when I finally clicked...oh well.

This is it...

I clicked Dave's link and it opened a pic. It's a Mustang made into a pool table. Maybe use another browser. I quit Firefox 2 years ago and never looked back. LOTS of problems.

OK , I get it now. Perfect!!

Do they come in green with out spoilers etc?

LOL! The Mustang one has made the rounds of the billiards sites. Nice novelty 7' table...but for playing? If my house had the room, I'd get one of these...a classic Brunswick Centennial...Gorgeous art deco, 9' Tournament size, 4.5" pockets.

Holy crap, Paul that is gorgeous! I cant even imagine what those must go for.

Pretty $pendy if well restored & assembled by a top table mechanic...but the old "they don't build 'em like they used to" phrase really applies here. My fantasy table would be much like the one in the pic I posted, with simonis tournament blue cloth. Today's gold crowns are okay, so are Diamond brand tables. But Damn, I just love the Centennial.

Here's a link to the history.
Antique Brunswick-Balke-Collender's The Centennial billiard table

I'm pretty lucky...the Cue Ball in Salem is all Centennial or Anniversary tables...great equipment, and Jim always gives Cindy & I a break on hourly rental rates, since we usually play in the afternoon when the hall isn't crowded.

Just saw one on EBAY $10,000!:eek:

Yeah, that's about right...Go to the Cue Ball in Salem, Oregon..play on a Centennial for $4.00 per hour. ;) But IIRC correctly, the Mustang table isn't cheap. Maybe about the same. No doubt which one I'd rather play on...:D

Click on the hall pics here...the back room is Centennials, the front room Anniversary models. Both are Brunswick classics and delightful to play on.

One place to look for these is when a city closes down an old fire hall...many of them used these tables.
Not knowing what they are doing, the cities often sell a classic table cheaply while getting a new table for the new hall.

Paul, thanks alot for showing me that table. Now I have another most likely unobtainable goal!

I hate you!! ;):D
