Cheap Pool Tables for Sale in Orange County This recent slate pool table delivery was done in our client's newly remodeled gameroom. The Wesminster, CA.
Here we are at Casa Loma Apartments in Tustin, CA to swap out an old 1960’s “bar pool table”. This 45 year old Fischer coin-operated pool table is being replaced with a brand new C.L. Bailey eight foot “Renegade” pool table. The apartment manager was tired of dealing with all the tenants’ complaints about balls always getting stuck on the inside of the old “bar” pool table. So the apartment’s owner decided to buy a new pool table from us.
It’s pretty cool because C.L. Bailey, the parent company of “Fischer” pool tables is still in business making pool tables in Marionville, MO. And the old Fischer pool table was made in Tipton, MO. The “Renegade” is great starter table, it features one inch three piece slate and full size K-66 cushions for exceptional play.UPDATE 04/25/13. Here at DK Billiards we love to share the wealth of information we have about pool tables. But, we unfortunately cannot trace a serial number on a Fischer pool table. Fischer was very proud of their billiard tables and placed a serial numbers on all of them during this mid-century period.
These records are long gone in the 21st century. We also have a hard time giving you a value of these pool tables if you are not in the greater Orange County, CA area. Each value is regional and varies greatly by where you are located and, like all antiques, what someone will ultimately pay for it. Please feel free to share your serial numbers here in the comments section, along with any information about approximate age of your Fischer and your location. We love to hear from folks all over the United States and hopefully we can compile some information about mid century Fischer pool tables for you to peruse.

Hello PTK, I’ve read through your blog, particularly focusing on Fischer. I have a Fischer 8 foot home model S/N A100593. The setup manual lists it as a Castile III and the color spec sheet shows it as a Marque III, by Fischer a division of Questor, California, MO manufactured in Tipton, MO. Both have identical images/drawings so I’m not sure exactly what to refer to it as. I am the original owner and purchased this around 1975 while living in Wichita, KS. I’ve moved it 7 times, 6 of those personally, recovered it 4 times and replaced the cushions once. Unfortunately they need to be replaced again.
When I do this I would like to repair the corner caps, which were always a problem. Because of their design and being plastic clothing, etc, easily snagged them and eventually broke them. In reading your blog I see it is unlikely to impossible to locate any original parts for these tables, however I was hoping to find some that will work. For example pooldawg has some apron mitres but they are an inch too short on the angle. All other measurements are perfect. Same issue with the caps.
I was hoping you may be able to point me a source for caps. The corners are actually still in good shape as they are metal. I also was wondering if you can tell me if the cushion K66 cushion material that I see on line at various sites is good to use? Most of them are around $45 When I had the cushions done I took them somewhere and it’s only been a few years when the original cushions lasted 20 years or so.
Thanks in advance for any feedback you are able to provide. Hello Dave, I’d like a little bit of history perhaps on this Fischer table that I acquired when I bought my home. The serial# tag shows A87232. Mainly I’m looking for the timeline when it was manufactured and what sort of value it may hold if any. The felt is in OK shape. No rips tears or imperfections, bumpers are worn but not completely gone. Unfortunately, it’s got to goproblem isfinding someone whose willing to to take it out of my basement!
Does $300 obo sound reasonable for it? Pic for reference. Nice table Siro, You need to start by removing the false panels on sides and on the head end of the pool table.
After removing panels you’ll see slots which have brackets which pinch against the slots and the bottom of the slate, which is what keeps the rails tight. So you need to loosen the nuts enough (without dropping them on the inside of the cabinet) which will allow you to rotate the pinch bracket 90 degrees. In total there are 15 brackets, the foot end of the table does not have brackets it has something like a square washer that has a slot cut in it to allow you to rotate it out of the way of the nut. So loosen those three nuts just enough to allow you to slide the rotating square washer thingy out of the way. At this point the rails should be free to lifted off of the slatebed. At this point all you need to do is have some help to remove the one piece slate (which weighs about 450 lbs.) The leg pedestals can be removed from the cabinet after you remove the slatebed. If my memory serves me correctly, I think you can even split the whole cabinet in half by unbolting from the inside two or four carriage bolts.
Then you can separate the cabinet in half kind of where the side pockets were. Good luck, Dave. Hello Justin, If the pool table slate you have measures 43″x83″x.75″ then its a standard one piece slate. Slates like this are commonly used in commercial 7′ coin-op pool tables.
Its probably worth $100. If its in good condition. If its a 47.5″x91.5″x.875″ Then its a standard 8′ one piece slate, unfortunately there’s not much call for slates this size. I have three of them laying around my shop and have not had a need to use them or even had anyone looking to buy one. Thanks for your question, Dave. Hello Amy, the value of any pool table is directly related to a few factors.
First would be the condition of the felt and cushion rubber. A pool table from the 60’s probably has “dead” cushions. There is a way to test this. Standing at the side of the table you would roll a ball away from you, with medium power the ball should make 3-4 cushion to cushion contacts before coming to rest. Try this test on all six rails. Another factor would be the difficulty of removing the pool table from it’s current location, meaning stairs or difficult maneuvering.

This Fischer pool table is most likely a one piece slate, but it’s possible to be a three piece model. As far as a value, it’s probably a cool looking 60’s style which may appeal to some folks because “retro” styles are in again. I’d say the pool table is probably worth between $500-1000. Good luck Amy. Hi Nowell, the best way to test the action on your pool table cushions is by rolling one of the balls from side to side. Normal cushions will bounce back and forth 3-4 times before coming to rest.
Rolling the ball from end to end should get 2-3 cushion to cushion contacts. If you’re not getting that kind of rebound then your cushion rubber is dead. I’d recommend using k-66 cushion rubber on your Fischer pool table. You’ll have to take off the whole rail section to remove the six smaller pieces that are screwed to the underside of the rail section. Good luck and thanks for your question. Dear Dave, I have a table exactly like the one pictured here at your site but no paperwork.
The picture I’m referring to says, “Here we are at Casa Loma Apartments in Tustin, CA to swap out an old 1960′s “bar pool table”. This 45 year old Fischer coin-operated pool table” single slate, measurements are approx 32″ x 64″. Pulled the slate & removed debris & it works fine, but wondering about what exactly it is & any parts anywhere. Sentimental value to wife & I’m putting it back in shape for her. Thanks for any help, Eric. Hello Pool table king.
I have a co-worker who is trying to offload a sinlge slate Fischer pool table (see photobucket website for pictures). The problem is it is upstairs in a loft. Do you have any suggestions of how to handle getting this thing down and into a truck? He has decided if somebody can’t figure out a good way to get it out then he’s just basically going to destroy the slate. His wife has given him an ultimatum to get the thing out of the loft. I would take it but it just sounds like trying to deal with the “widowmaker” is not something I want to even mess with. Most “Movers” he’s talked to say they are not even willing to move the table.
The railing on the loft is removeable. Thanks, Keith. I have a Fischer pool table as well, I don’t know anything about it except for what the stickers on it tell me. It’s coin op, serial number is 2687-08, and it has a sticker that says Imperial XII. It has patent dates from early to late 30’s on the coin thing.
We’ve had this table in the family for a hot minute. I was told my grandpa got it out of a closing bar back in the 60’s.
If you could give me some information on this table and possibly a value it would help. I’ve been looking all over the internet and haven’t found anything on this table. Hello David and thanks for your comment. Unfortunately I don’t know how their serial numbering system worked. I know the company of old was located in Tipton, MO. And was owned by Ewald Fischer. The company has long since been purchased by C.L.
Of Marionville, MO. But it’s a whole different type of pool table being produced by the new guys. As for their value, other than sentimental, the old Fischer pool tables aren’t really worth a whole lot of money. They play great and look cool with 50-60’s style. Just keep the rubber cushions in good shape and play her til’ she treats you wrong. Hi Wanda, your pool table is worth $600. You must also consider the fact that someone will most likely be hiring a pool table mover to handle the hard work of disassembling the pool table and then carring the massive 450 lbs of slate that your old Fischer pool table has.
Not sure if you’re in an area where pool table movers are abundant, being in Orange County, CA most pool table companies will decline to move an eight foot single piece slate table. Therefore this can raise pool table moving rates considerably. We typically charge our clients $400 to move an 8′ one piece slate pool table from ground floor to ground floor. Hopes this helps with your pricing expectations, Dave. Sorry Jason but at this time we don’t stock any original parts for old Fischer pool tables. The original Ewald Fischer Co.
From Tipton, MO is no longer in business. But I’m sure we find cushion rubber for you. Do you have the old wood cushion seats still? As far as the brackets for tightening the the rail section down to the frame. You’ll have to purchase some square tubing and cut them into 7 inch sections, then drill a hole through the center slightly larger than.375 inches.
This should work well for securing the rail section down to the slate. Good luck friend. Good morning Eric, Thanks for your interest in our pool table website. Yes, the empire VII is a seven foot pool table. It most definitely is a slate pool table, a one piece slate is common on all older Fischer pool tables. Depending on the condition of the pool table’s felt and cushion rubber will dictate the value.
Also where the pool is setup in the seller’s home and the spot where you will setup the table are cost factors as well. If you plan to hire a pool table mover to do this job for you be sure to tell them of any stairs of tight turns because the slate is in one piece it is more difficult to maneuver. I would say that you should offer between $250-600 depending on this pool table’s condition and locale. Hope this helps, dk.
Finally, a site with a picture of a table much like mine. ? I own a Fischer table almost exactly like the old coin-op one pictured above. The only difference is that mine is not a coin-op! It is in above average condition for it’s age.
I purchased it for $150 back in 1990 from a family friend. They bought it new and had it in their basement for about 25 years before that. (roughly 1965) It sat covered and untouched for close to 20 of that 25 years. The table is what you would call a 7 footer, I guess, (38″) with a one piece “quarried marble” bed. It even has stickers on it underneath that say “Heavy,not to be handled by one man alone!” The marble bed also has an ink stamp with the “F” logo and a date of “5, 63.” Anyway, I am not sure of the model as I think it is stamped on the original bumpers along with the date that are still on the table but under the felt. Can you tell me what that model I might have please? Also, what would a rough value be on this table?
I will gladly send you pictures if you wish. Thank you very much. Good morning Kevin, thanks for your comment. The model that you have is most likely a Regent or an Empire VII. If the cushions and cloth need to be replaced, this table is worth about $500. To a private party buyer. Moving a one piece slate pool table like yours can be very difficult when there are stairs involved.
![Fischer Slate Pool Table Fischer Slate Pool Table](/uploads/1/2/5/6/125614325/396563236.jpg)
The one thing you have going in your favor is that it’s a seven footer and not a “widow-maker” aka an eight footer. For moving purposes an eight footer with stairs, is very difficult to manage.
