Barrington support wire failure. (1 Viewer)

Anyone have a support line crimp fail on their Barrington? We were playing last night and heard a pop. The center of the table dipped slightly.

When we looked we saw this.

Here's the other side that's still intact.

woah, never seen that before. Were your players using the table as a dance floor?

Nope. Just leaning on the rail. Didn't even seem like they were leaning with all that much weight.

I have a Barrington table and have not had this happen....yet!!! However, it is an easy fix....if you are reasonably handy and/or have the needed tools (or can rent them). Check out this video that shows the general process.

Or, instead of recrimping, you could use a wire rope U-bolt clip like below (need to confirm size). You might want to wrap the end product in tape or something afterwards to protect players knees/legs from the threads and end of the wire.

U-Bolt clip

Good luck and I hope this helps?!?!?

poor crimp job. luckily that'll be a quick and cheap fix. Cheap is hard to come by in this hobby...
