| Pool Table Help I bought a used pool table from a friend and it needs some work. The rails are pretty dead and it could use new felt. I searched online and only found L&G Billiard in the Park but their number doesn't work. Is there a Billiard supply/repair company in the area that anyone can reccomend? Thanks. |

| Not sure how close you want them to be to consider them local, but Champion Billiards is who we bought our table from. |

| I was hoping to be able to stop in and talk to them and maybe schedule them to come and refurbish the table. I'll check out the link. Thanks. |

| I'll try them too. I originally bought it for my 13 year old to have something to do. Do you remember what you had done and what it cost? |

| If you have some basic skills, refurbing a table shouldnt be a thing you cant DIY. Bought mine used, broke it down and rebuilt if here myself (with a little help in the hefting of the 1 inch slate pieces. But refelting and replacing the rails, those things dont require any movement of the slate, it's a about 10-14 bolts for the rails and 12 bolts for the pocket irons. I reused the felt that came with, and the rails, but in that sense, new felt is easier, and while I havent done the rails, it's not super hard from appearances. Just take your time.

| Thanks. I am pretty handy so there shouldn't be a problem doing it myself. I would just need to order the new rails, felt and pockets. |
