Had my highest break on an aristocrat steel blocked but loved that old B & Watts more and quite beautiful tables done up they are. Seems such a shame to see it in that condition with blue cloth n pool balls on it.
I would definitely get steel blocked cushions and a number 10 or 6811 cloth - basically you better having cushions and bed done in 6811 first time - lasts a bit longer and most match tables in Uk have 6811 fitted on cushions anyway and number 10 on the bed. You can always try out a different cloth afterwards on the bed and then keep the cushions the same, I would get a heater under the table a nice led white light over it new nets n leathers a good refinish on all of the wood n French polish the lot or whatever you do - bring it back to life set of G1's table iron few cues rests and scoreboard n off you trot - invite me over for a holiday free coaching - job done
Dreaming now - want one myself - does it show?
