Dan, sorry to message you not introduced but I think you are an expert on my table. I have one of the original AMF Grand Prix (9' with the figure 8 base) and I am planning on replacing the cloth and cushions. I have purchase some Simonis 760 and am about to purchase some Artemis 66 from classic billiards. Is there anything in particular you think I need to know? I saw reference to the wood being tough to staple? I have purchased the Simonis DVD and assume I will be following their direction. Thanks in advance, Art Carr
