[QUOTE="Crazy Newt, post: 185479, member: 1595"] Wow, Silverball reminds me of the 1966 Williams 8 Ball table I use to play at my friend's house when I was kid. The family moved into the cul-de-sac when I was 9, and this table was in the garage until I left for college. Might still be there now. The father was a General Counsel for the State Bar of Texas and Navy JAG. He passed away a few years ago and I have not been in contact with his son for decades. Still, I recall sleeping over at my friends house as a child and staying up all night playing this 8 Ball machine. The middle loop was 500 points and a bell would ring for every 100 points scored. When you made the shot, you heard "ding ding ding ding ding". It was a dangerous shot, but oh so satisfying. The table: [url]http://www.ipdb.org/search.pl?any=8-ball&search=Search+Database&searchtype=quick#764[/url] The man that owned this table: [url]http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/cjonline/obituary.aspx?n=steven-d-peterson&pid=144359230[/url] [/QUOTE]
