& this is the reason I can't get any more pins. A mid 1930's Atlantic Billiards tournament table. 9' with 1 inch slate, fast cushions & Simonis 860 cloth. This thing is built like a tank! I don't want anything causing any obstructions to shooting on it - as it is now nothing is in the way of any shot. I even put in a steel beam to eliminate a post that would have been in the way...
WOW !!!!!! Jeremy...... that's a cool table..... I grew up playing on an old Brunswick slate tables... 8 and 9 footers... 15 ball and Billiards... I played in many pool halls "back in the day".... I even "un graduated" from college because of "The Grotto" on campus..... When my folks traveled to Seattle to visit relatives, I usually got dropped off on 1st. Avenue to play at the "Ben Paris" pool hall, a HUGE underground pool hall.... Jackie Gleason and Paul Newman should have been there..... HAHAHAHA..... thanks for the memories... now I have to go dig out my Huebler cue and dust it off......

You have a piece of history there Smoking B! Those Atlantic tables have not been made for many decades. They played very, very nice and I envy you for finding such a nice one. If you ever want to sell it please let me know. Cheers!
Yes Paul I was very surprised & incredibly happy to find it - especially at the price & the fact it was just over an hour away from me

I would get to any pinball machine, read the board and directions, put a quarter in and play for hours, never putting another quarter in the machine. Usually by the time the first ball was lost, I had hit the free ball about 5 times, and by games end, always won free games.
I miss those days, yes I do,,,,,,,,,

You sure about that? I've been known to have tilted a few of them in the past. Bet those switches aren't easy to come by these days
