I asked about this machine a couple of times here and no one knew anything about it. Turns out it's a very rare and hard to find piece. They're around but few and far between. I finally got around to restoring this and just listed it on eBay. Search "Hooligan Pool" on eBay if you want to see a ton of pictures of it. Sorry but the only before picture I took was of the bed after I pulled it out:



Needless to say it was not in very good condition when I got it. Here are the pics of it now that it is done:

Very cool .....   :cheers:

Who did the felt screening ?
Is the cabinet laminated?

SirPeale:
I'd like to see more before shots.  Looks nice!  Looks nice!

Those lines in the first photo, are they actually there or shopped into the photo for measuring purposes?  If they're really there, any plans to include them in the finished work?

I did the felt silk screening. I took it to a place that does silk screening and called others. They all said they couldn't do it. I even tried calling a company that makes signs with no luck. So, I learned how to silk screen and did it myself. The cabinet is painted, not laminated.

Thank you! I really wish I would have taken some before shots of it. I took pictures of the bed to try and pull the artwork off of it. That didn't work out so I had a graphic artist redo the artwork for silkscreening. The lines were there on the original. I really didn't care for them, and I have quite enough time and money into this thing already. I have no plans on adding them.
