How old is my table?
Depending on your table, some will have a maker’s mark underneath the table, giving the year they were manufactured. The manufacturer will also put a nameplate on an end of the table that will provide information. Finding the make, model and specifications (measurements, number of legs etc.) can help to find a close match online.
Does the size of the table matter when it comes to parts?
Yes. Different sizes and makes of tables have different measurements depending on the table. This will affect cushion rails, slate, center chute, side/end trim and top rail laminates. Be sure to measure any and all parts before ordering replacements.
How much is my table worth?
Tables vary in value depending on their age, make and condition.
I have a bumper pool table, can I get parts?
For most tables the answer is Yes. Game Room Guys sells parts for bumper pool tables of many makes and models. Follow the link for our selection of bumper pool parts and supplies.
I want to move my table, how do I take it apart?
When it comes to moving pool tables, we suggest you leave it up to the professionals. Pool tables are very heavy and unless you have experience taking them apart and moving them, they can also be very dangerous. Not only can you cause yourself personal injury but the table itself could be ruined. We offer pool table moving and recovery services here at Game Room Guys. Click the link for more information.
What kind of cue ball do I need?
The kind of cue ball you need only matters if you have a bar pool table. Depending on the table, bar pool tables will have either a magnetic ball or an over-sized cue ball, so the table can separate the cue ball from the rest.
Could you send me a parts break-down specifically for my table?
If we sell the table, yes but it depends on the manufacturer. Contact us for more details.
Could I get a key for my old coin door?
Sorry, no. We cannot offer keys for old coin doors.
Could I get a key for my ball view door or cleanout door?
If standard and never-been-changed, most likely yes.
Should I replace my cushion rails?
Cushion rails should be replaced when they are either very soft or hard. The edge of the rails will also start to curl downward as the rail ages. Rails will often become unreactive or ‘dead’ when they need to be replaced.
Will new rails fit my old table?
Not necessarily. Over the years manufacturers will alter their production methods and change how certain parts are made. This will impact how the rails are attached to the table. It is also important to measure your rail’s dimensions to compare and contrast with replacement options.
I’ve only got one dead rail; why can’t I just buy one replacement?
If only one rail is replaced, the remaining rails will all seem 'off' or not as reactive. This will result in inconsistent play from the pool table.
What rail are cushions no longer available?
Rail cushions are usually no longer available because they were made by a smaller manufacturer that either no longer exists or only made that rail cushion for specific tables.
Do you have information or parts for different manufacturer’s older model pool table?
Yes, we do carry parts for different manufacturer’s older tables. Knowing the make, model and year the table was manufactured is extremely helpful in finding parts and information on your older table.
