SOLD--Custom 8-ball shift **** (slight blemish)
Category: Interior
Price: $40
Private or Vendor Listing: Private Listing
Part fits: SN95, New Edge
Location (State/Prov): FL
Item Condition: Brand New
$40.00 including shipping via Priority Mail...
I bought a dozen 8-***** from a different supplier than I normally use, and after getting the first one bored out I found that one and eight of the others had slight blemishes in the "8"--very slight, but unacceptable to my standards. The ball is smooth and polished at that point, it's just that the black resin for the number bled a bit.
I returned those I had not bored yet, but finished this one:
As you can see it comes with a polished jam nut (to keep the "8" aligned) and two polished spacers; 3/8" and 3/4".
Here's 'tother side of the **** showing the polished alloy insert:
I normally sell the 8-***** for $60.00, $10 more than a cue ball because of the need to make the jam nut. $40.00 will get you this slightly blemished ****, including shipping via USPS Priority Mail (US only).

Or if you would like to send a money order, send a message to the above email address and I will send you my full name and address.
I will ship it out within 24 hours of receiving payment.
BTW: the blemish is barely visible in the real world; I purposely exaggerated the contrast in the photo...

I received a PM asking if it was a "real" 8-ball. It is I apologise for not making that clear. I buy first quality International competition 8-***** and cue-***** and make shift *****. I got a a bad batch of 8-***** and made the **** being offered here before I realised it:
drilling the ball:
turning the bushing:
boring the bushing:
parting he bushing:
raw bushing:
finished bushing:
all done, bushing inserted with J-B Weld--it will NOT come loose:
