Question

Can a coin operated pool table that uses a2 3/8" cue ball be coverted to a magnetic cue ball and work?

Answer 1

no

Answer 2

Yes it is possible, and has been done often. Dynamo and Valley are both owned by Brunswick. They would have information on how to convert it, as would many table mechanics.

Answer 3

It might be possible, and I'm not an authority on the subject.  Dynamo tables are known for the larger cue ball and Valley tables are known for having the magnetic ball.  I can definitely see the advantages of the magnetic ball over the large ball.  You may want to contact both companies and talk directly to people on their end.  Who knows, there might be an aftermarket converting device?  Best of luck.  M.D.-BCA Instructor/Referee.
