Looking for weight bolts for E series McDermott cue with old style bolts (3/8"). A complete set would be nice. Cue is E-H1 made from 1990-1995.

Craig...do you still collect tip boxes? I have about 5 to trade or sell right now, put some on a thread...

MANWON,

I tried your cold method and used some heat to try to straighten a really warped shaft. I am not sure if I was doing this incorrectly or if the warp was too severe. I went against the advice of "Do Not Add Moisture" and I wrapped the cue in a towel, binded with rubberbands, then used a clothes steamer to steam the towel. Then the high point up, I had placed the cue on books, and added a little weight to the middle of the shaft. I repeated the process seeing slight results each time. The final few attempts I had hung the towel wrapped cue so it was perfectly vertical, steamed more and then let it dry completely like this. The shaft is now completely straight. I recognize that moisture can damage the cue more, but as a last ditch effort it worked well.

Like Fast Eddie Felson says at the end of the Color of Money.... "I'm back"...

hey there im in everett wa and i was seeing you did a repair on a vintage japan adams cougar pool cue i recently got one but the joint needs a repair the pin is lets say gone i dont care about the shaft but i was wondering how much you would charge to put a new joint including pin on it i was thing like a predator unilock or a mcdermott 3/8x11 ?please let me know through email at dandy1821@gmail.com

If I can manage to stop by at your place after a 5 hour drive the last thing I'm going to play is one pocket. But a cool free bottle of water would be nice.
