Pool fever. Got my first Gold Crown. -

Purchased my very first Gold Crown last week for $660 from Ebay, it is a Gold Crown III. I sold my antique Madison table to find a commercial table, and now I found it, just can't tell you how great of a shape it was. Cannot wait to replace the cushions and cloth. It was quite a trek though, since I was coming from VA and the table was in CT, so I rented a Uhaul to pick it up, brought my wife, son and grandaughter with me for the road trip and we enjoyed every minute of it. The table came from a residential home, the people that owned and sold it to me were very hospitable and helpful, don't see that very often anymore. But anyway, here is a picture of it.

your gonna love it....looks like u went with aramith cloth?
congratulations on a great deal! If I could buy such table for $700 here I even might have given up the idea of building one myself
Enjoy every minute at the table now.
Thanks for all the positive comments! Started reconditioning the table. Extended the subrails and getting ready to install new Superspeed cushions. In addition, I am also stripping down the aprons and ball box to refinish it. I will be picking up Simonis 860 for it next week. Here are some pictures.
Thanks. I'm not a table mechanic, it's a hobby. I wish I was though and have the skill like everyone does here. It is the second time I extended subrails, I did it on my antique table for which I sold to purchase this GC. Here is a picture of the antique Madison table I used to own. I loved this table, It had Championship Tour Edition cloth on it and played real well.
