Post up some pictures, I'm in the process of putting mine back together after moving into our new home. I fully restored mine a few years back and its been solid. Mark redid the rails.

Mine is only a couple years younger than the one you are considering. I think that is a great deal especially when you look at what people try to sell used import tables for. Try to find out as much of its history if you can, many came out of pool rooms and are mixed and only kinda matched parts from other similar tables.

I got my Gold Crown II ( adjustable legs, I has fixed legs afaik ) for $950. One owner and not from a pool hall.
Needed new cushions though.
$1000 for a I is on the high side these days .

Good deal.
Extend the rails and replace the cushions with Super Speed.
Don't bother spending a thousand dollars getting it re-profiled unless the mech really knows how to do it .
I regretted it twice already.

Seems to be in great original condition which is less common than a GC that has spent its life in a pool hall. I think its a great price even at 1k.

Not trying to rain on your parade, the real condition of the table won't be k own until it is torn down and you can see the slate the frame; the condition of the cushions. Unless the rails have already been redone you can expect to spend between 750-1000 getting them redone to correctly tighten the pockets. How does the table currently play?

That will make a fine table, looks good as it is. Don't pass it up.

I think he will find out that is a nice table. One clue that the table was most likely not in a commercial environment is that the gulley blinds are still on the table. I dont think there is much that can go wrong with those massive GC frames. Hopefully anyone who previously worked on that table knew about the pinned slate so there are no cracks.

That i did notice and thought theres no way slate can shift
