Finally Antique Ball Cleaner

[calibration]

So I bought this antique cabinet maybe 10 years ago, has 2 pull out drawers with holes in them for Pool balls and what looks like storage spots for 6 cues. May have been a cabinet for a doctor or dentist any hew... I finally converted it to a ball polisher, works amazing. I took apart an orbital polisher and removed the orbital component, added a dimmer switch and it is awesome.

Looks like it might have been an old radio cabinet at some point in its history. I have one, generally a similar build, that served as my liquor cabinet for many years.

You put yours to good use. Nice repurposing of an fine old cabinet.

Wow..and nice work adding the cleaner. How do you like the Novus. Are you using the both red & blue containers. Would that be 1&2? Thanks

Just gorgeous

I only use the Novus 1 primarily, I use the 2 if they are a really old set of balls that need significant re-polishing
