Is this the ultimate chip display?

What I've got here is something of a boo-boo. I was at an auction, when this puppy came up. The wooden chip rack is what caught my eye, and the bid card went up... Then I tried to fit it into my apartment - no way! 90 inches wide, 68 inches deep (and you'd ideally want to allow an additional 10 inches for the dealer to get into their nook, and room on the sides for chairs...

I'm offering this magnificent table, exclusively to ccgtcc members. In addition, I'll let you donate 25% of the price to the Miracle Fund. Ex: lets say we agree on a $1,000 price; I'd take $750, and you'd send the Miracle Fund a check for $250. The retail on this table, from PaulSon, is $3,600 - and PaulSon won't sell to individuals; just casinos. If there is not sufficient interest over the weekend, I'll be listing this on eBay next week. I'd really like a Chipper to get this, as it would be an incredible display for chips. If interested, you can make offers via ksdenham@yahoo.com GOOD LUCK!
Fine print: what's missing? I don't have a cash can, or money plunger (both are easy & cheap to get on eBay). The one thing I REALLY tried to get, was a locking wooden chip rack cover. Silver can't find the one for this table, and PaulSon won't sell them to individuals. If you have a friend in the Casino biz, maybe they can get one for you; then you could keep dust off your chips (and keep your valuable chips away from sticky fingers! There are a few minor tears/punctures to the padded armrest; a perfectionist might consider reupholstering it (I think it's fine as-is).

Location: Reno Nevada.
Shipping: Pick-up in person, or contract with any shipping line, or use Eric at http://www.ericsshipping.com/index.html he is pretty well-known for moving casino collectibles, juke boxes, etc. I'd guestimate $300-500 dollars, but you should call/email him first. He's not always fast, but he's VERY good.

7 player stations, 2 drink holders (brand new brass) for each! This table is in great shape, and I honestly have no idea why they got rid of it! Colors are most correct in this pic - 95% sure they are black-light friendly, especially the Silver Legacy logo, and the boxes around the betting lanes.

Heavy oak? legs. Note knobs to break table apart, and heavy adjustable foot levelers. Drilled for foot rails, but similar tables in use right now don't have them installed either. This is a lower table; 28 inches of knee clearance.


Nice little sign added to the deal by me; there are no screw holes in this felt! Padding under felt is firm & newish; there are NO visible signs of wear on this felt!

For comparison: upper is the Mini-Bac chip rack, lower is the bigger Full-Bac table chip rack (available separately). There is NO question that all of this came from the Silver Legacy - I picked both up from their storage warehouse. FYI: the Eldorado has the same Mini-Bac table in-play (mine is in far better shape), and they use the green box (where I've got two decks of cards) for all their wonderful PLAQUES!!!

How did Cigarman get all the chips, AGAIN?

Note: there are cracks in some of the rows; you could oil the rack, but then your chips may bleed... Better to leave the cracks as-is. Of course, you wont be able to see the cracks if you fill the rows up with chips - DUH!

NO JOKES about the Cigarman chips - they are my favorites, even if he's only betting fakes & samples. At least he's using an RFID players card...

Wait! There's MORE! Don't care for the Silver Legacy? Change it to THE MANSION at MGM Grand! Although for a slightly fatter table, I think this should work perfectly if you move it back 4 inches, you would need to fudge the back strip behind the dealer tray, but 2 little seams would be hardly noticeable... SWEET!

Note where you would staple with one of those staple guns = EASY! Needs to move back to preserve the embroidered THE MANSION logo.
