Valley Pool Table (Tiger Model)

I knew it was only time but the kids finally managed to drop legos or trains down the holes. I cannot reach the lose toys so now I need to somewhat disassmeble the unit. Does anyone have any experience on the best way to do this? Assuming I need to disassemble the bumpers and lift the slate off to get to the ball return? Any suggestions would be great so I can make this a pleasant experience considering it most likely won’t be my last. Mike

I also have a valley table. Is there a chrome strip around the table on the outside of the bumpers? If there is unscrew them and remove. With these off,it will expose the screws that hold the bumpers on. Unscrew them and remove the bumpers. there’s 1 more step to it, But I’m not sure how to do it,but it is easy!Then just lift up the slate and retrieve the parts. It is really easy..Done it a few times! Any questions…..Shoot me some mail!

Thanks Chappy, that is what I thought but figured someone would no forsure on this site. MJ

Worked, wow that slate is heavy…Thanks again and it was pretty easy. 1/2 and done !

Glad I could help!

Ya beat me to it. I use to get service calls like this out in western MN back in the day. You’d be surprised what you would find in a jammed pool table.
