Victor 9ft Table
I need some advice on breaking down and reassembly. I have a 4.5 x 9 ft Victor with ball return and number 1347 stamped on all wood parts. My father owned the local pool hall in town when I was a kid and had 10 Victors. When he sold out in 1980, he set up one in his garage and now I am moving it to my home since his death. It is in excellent condition and only needs recovering. I have taken off side panels and cushions. The 1.25" 3 piece slates appear to be glued underneath to the wooden frame assembly. Does anyone know of any precautions that I should take so as not to damage the slate pieces? Any advice is appreciated. Thanks

I came upon this link for acquiring a replacement decal for a Victor Billiard table's "Ball Receiver" tray attached to a silent "Lanza Ball Return Shute" [sic - chute]:

"Found on Victor Pool Tables with Lanza Ball Return - Applied on face of ball receiver on 'foot' end. $10.00." (has email to place an order for decals. Paypal is accepted by using the same email address. Also has phone number to call with any questions.)
Here's a picture of the Lanza Ball Return Shute and Ball Receiver:
