    They use a heavy coat of resin on the rails to fill and hide the worm holes in the cheap Meranti hardwood they use.

    They must have started rolling off and the Lego legs are probably starting to crack. 😊

    The accessorries are £1500 plus if genuine.

    This one on Geof large site I saw yesterday,I’m pretty sure this is the 1985 Benson & Hedges table in Oak ,BCE only did them for two years 1984/85 ,the light finish replicating the cigarette packet colour .Don’t think they were ever offered for sale ,2 inch slate as well .The 84 table that Kirk Stevens made the 147 on was very light in colour .Unless the practice tables were oak too then this would seem to be a tv match table ,the new owner has one hell of a bargain there .

    Well looking at the pictures Steve ,it appears that the owner has already been stacking the kindling under the table in preparation

    I'm betting the mrs wants the room back

    The Rasson Strong2 that they used in last years champion of champions is a traditional looking table with all the modern levelling system bits and bobs That one looks really nice ,not kern on the look of the bottom half of that Magnum table .

    I would prefer an older well made table over that anyday.

    Yes, the company he said he bought it from charge just under ten grand including delivery and installation. https://www.homeleisuredirect.com/sn...ker-table.html

    So if you factor probably about 1k to dismantle transport and reassemble at new owners property, then you are only going to save yourself 497 quid over buying a new one!! Not to mention liability aggravation of a two stage move and possible damage etc etc etc....

    This blokes obviously a prize Berk. 🙄
