Some good prices on these, I have been thinking of getting one of those el' cheepo Harbor freight winchs just to have one, and once I get a better one moving the HF back to the rear and having dual winches but at that price I could probably just bite the bullet and buy a decent one to begin with.
 
Need some advise and opinions

I posted this up last night in th chit chat section and one guy answered. I know I can trust you guys for some feedback. I just converted my garage 22 X 20 into a game room for the kids. I have had the intention of buying a pool table when they get older. Well the good deals always come along at the wrong time. Ran across a friend and he wants to sell his brunswick "orleans" for $1000. I thought this was a great deel because a nice brunswick like this one goes for 4500 plus on thier website. I'm just torn on taking so much space in the room and passing up a good deal thoughts, advise? Any plus's or minus's????

If that table is not 20 years old, its a hell of a deal bro. Your right, that table is the cadillac of pool tables. I know someone that paid 1k for one that was at least 10 years old. Now about the space...I hear ya....You could always make a top cover for it and make it a eating table when not in use... Seen that done before...Its ok I quess...Good luck...
 
Are there any done sides to it. The feel I get from friends I have talked to only good things. That might be so they can come to my house and play. I have never had one. Had a friend that had one in college and it was never not in use.
 
I personally would love to have one... The only down side I can see is the space these tables kill. Is this a regulation size? Those ar bigger...Not sure the exact size though... It is nice for relaxing with some brew and friends!

Sorry about the wait, My wife and daughter were in a car wreck. They are o.k. but this part out is going to be on the back burner for a little while......Daughter is a little banged up and the tahoe was totaled. I'll repost when things are back to normal.

Wow... right answers ... I have none. It looks to be a very very nice table and from what it sounds like.. a very good price.

I'll play the devil's advocate here:

1. You've probably worked very hard in life and if it's something you want for you, then buy it if you have the room and the little :princess: won't kill you. You're right... good times and plenty of beer over that thing.

2. If you honestly are going to get one for the kids when they get older.. are they old enough to enjoy it and take care using it now?? Is it going to take up space they need now? A good deal is only really a good deal if you "need" something. ...not really if you don't.


Now that that's over ... back to the :beer: !!!! Look, buy the table and invite some BSLCA folks over!!!!! LOL...


Nah, do what's best for you. Sounds like you want it really bad but "know" now is not that time.


....$1000 are 5 new 33x12.5x15 BFG/MT's and $200 to spare!!! :bounce2:


Good luck bud

Thanks for posting Scott. Glad the family is ok Jason, I wish your daughter a speedy recovery. How old is she? Keep us updated bud. :)
 
I agree with the advice above, my old man had a table like that for years until the family grew and he had to get rid of it. He had a Puma or something like that, regulation size. My only suggestion is to have a local gaming company come over and set it up for you when you get it where you want it. We have a local gaming company that charges $75.00 to come out to the house to level and set it up for you. I've heard its worth it if you plan on playing on it alot with no tilt issues. They even restretch the felt for you should it need it. As for the room "The Male in us, we just never have enough room no matter how big a room or shop is" making do with what you have my friend. We can always caravan a group of BSLCA guys over with a couple hammers and knock out a wall or two to help make room, and maybe even put in that cormer bar with ice cold brews in the fridge. LOL.
 
My grandfather had a very nice Olhausen pool table when we were kids. I have lots of great memories of tournament games with the family. We did learn at an early age, no drinks on the table, sticks & balls are not toys, and to be careful not to dig the stick into the felt ;)
They had their table in the basement which flooded a couple times and had the felt replaced both times- there was no other damage to the table, it was always perfectly level.
 
good advise, and thanks. Larry I will need the number for the people you know that level the table. Im going to buy it and lend it to my brother, which maty be a huge mistake, but anyway. He is going to bring it to his house in Lafayette and use it there for he has an extra room. So club meetings might be possible since it will be close, thanks guys, Deryl

Wow.. ya know.. I saw this thread some time ago and never thought twice about it. Sorry buddy. We'll keep looking. How much you think you'll get a fair-good rig for?? (I'd think 9-12K)

What ever happened to the 45??
