 Frame looks highly dodgy at front but appears rigid, nice looking slate. |

 Ooooops first thing that's going to slow me down, corrugated cushions and old starting to perish rubber at that, must have been some wonderful bounces off the left cushion in particular!! This one will have to be re-rubbered and I've only one set of cushions, hope the last two are OK. |

 229B has been rather more of a problem. The split across half of the backboard about an inch below the hinges was severe structural damage and meant that the entire top of the table was in severe danger of becoming disconnected from the bottom. I would guess the likely cause is in transpotrtation in a veretical posistion when, if the bottom of the table is not uniformly supported then the entire weight of the slate is sitting on the hinges and has started to snap the backboard along the grain. One to be watchful on Dave A. I've screwed and glued (clamped at present) a support pad inside the back and will hack a lump off the balltray to accomodate it. Needs monitoring next season. Cushions rerubbered and ready to grind off the mitres and top recovered. Reason for rubber problem on this one is a slightly rounded edge to the top off the rail that I did not spot (should have) until the rubber was attached, means a less than perfect attachment, that and people leaning on the cushion as it won't come off on its own!. No gas strut and support arm was only attached to one side of table and that with a weak wobbly joint, highly dangerous! Sav |

229B finished at last.
In addition to previous.
Slate sag to right hand fifty so braced under front.
Longitudinal pads put under slate to counter normal Jelkes sag.
Some screwholes had to be plugged as the screws were pulling out.
Clock retimed to just under 17 mins.
