Got this table from Kingston - upon - Thames at the end of January , it was in pretty poor condition , moth eaten cloth , no feet . no hinges , no timer/mechanism , cushion rubber hard , no ball return guides , dirty condition but the slate was in 1 piece , the sides were ok , 3 legs were reasonable , 1 leg was split , . score board was past repair and the whole thing smells awful !!!!! Started work on it last week...................more photos to follow.............. Attachments:

Well once we can get into the pubs I am sure Steve and myself will have a few games with the 50 pegs set out like the ones in your pic, we've tried just about every other option

Alan there is a nice skeggy upside down bath type table on fleabay at the moment, now that would be a challenge to turn that into something desirable B It had one of those 2 years ago !! Best thing to do with it is : re-use the slate , the mushrooms , the drop rings and possibly the timer mechanism ..........the rest ' bin it ' I have 2 tables ready to go and 1 that will be ready in 5/6 days..........and 2 still to refurb !! Its not worth advertising them at the moment ( But they will be nowhere near ISAACS prices ) The 3 are :- 1 re built E.J.Riley 2 Complete ' Turner ' biuld 3 1981 SAMS If any one is thinking of investing !!!! |

Sorry Alan, just being nosey. SW London used to be quite well represented for (non-league) tables - Merton, Wimbledon, Raynes Park etc but my search for a pub to visit after football (AFC Wimbledon) continues.

Please keep the attachment sizes down and compressed as you have mostly done earlier. As mentioned many times the forum has a finite space available for attachments as nobody will pay monthly to increase it, it is a constant fight for me to edit and compress attachments and it is still currently 75% full.
Our total limit is still only 200 meg and there were 37 attachments in this one thread over the last six weeks, several are duplicated. We only have 50 meg free and there is 2 meg gone in the one thread.

There are a few tables in the Kennington Oval area. All are in Shepherd Name pubs. Ask the Reverend for details? |
