Josh, it’s a good version with the aluminum gutters. These were only available as an extra charge. They were standard made of wood and sensitive to moisture. Drinks spilled on the table and came inside on the gutters damaged them. The aluminium gutters were resistant to this.

Alicia, so far it’s the second lowest number I’ve found. A lower one has only Alejandro Aiello from Argentina. The table is an early model and should therefore come from the first year of production. I guess it’s a 6ft (215 x 125 cm) version. This was mainly sold in Europe. The weight of the 6ft version is about 360lb or 165kg. The slate plate has only 3/4″ or 18mm. I hope this information will help you.

I don’t have any specific figures on this, but in the last 5 years I have only found 3 of them. The production was always based on where the tables were sold in the world. In America, the big models were popular, but in Europe the small ones. 7ft is right in between.

Hello, Josh
The 7 ft version from this series is rarer than that of the other sizes. Rarer are only the small 5.5 ft. As far as the number is concerned, I can say the following. I have been researching for many years. The number fits in my list to the end of 1970 / beginning 71, where the table was delivered.

Yes that’s right. This model had a blockage. This prevents the coin (behind “A”) from falling through completely, resulting in a permanent loan. But it was too long ago that I had worked on such a coin-checker, I just remember that you had to change something and then you could play without money. A coin was then always in the slider.

This is an Apollo. An Apollo always pays off. As far as coining is concerned, there were various coins. These for Europe were made in Italy. There were also the Ambassador and Nassau models for private use without a coin validator. These are rarer and do not have a serial number because they have not been used commercially.

Larry, i don’t know if anyone is still offering the profile of these cushions today. That was quite a strange profile and does not correspond to today’s standard. The rubber used at that time was of high quality and is therefore mostly still good today. Basically, I only use pool towels from Simonis, Pierre DuPont or K7.

Yes Larry, it is best to attach to the wall in a van. Never transport a slate plate lying down. The own weight can cause them to break in the event of violent shocks.

Hello, Larry
Yes, the slate can break if you are careless. Basically you should transport these thin plates upright if you move them without a table.

Jan, these are made of rubber. I had already thought of making moulds and pouring new ones with rubber. But I find the original diamond quite horrible. Since these parts are very easy to change and no changes are necessary at the table, I have considered an alternative that visually enhances the table and has been well received by many other table owners.
