I am sorry. I was not questioning you or directing anything toward you. I was trying to point out that an evaluation of pool -- then and now -- should also consider how much fun was had by mere mortals -- bangers -- and what magic places pool rooms used to be.

Good Lord. You waited 5 years to respond to an apparent dig, when you clearly said "I don’t pay attention very long to insignificant things"? You need to let go my Friend. Brian.

Mister, I haven’t been to NPR in a long time….I really have no idea whom you are or what you stand for
and personally speaking, I don’t give a _hit what you think, believe or post anywhere or anytime. I hope
that is clear enough. You never impressed me on NPR or I’d recall something, anything you posted. In
other words, I don’t pay attention very long to insignificant things, events, people or their opinions on Az.
But I don’t back down on anything, you’ll always know where I stand and I’ll still admit if & when I’m wrong.

I worked in a real "old school" pool hall from the time I was a kid until after I got out of high school.

I spent HOURS in the pool hall six days a week for years.

I played all of those games, but Kelly pool may have been my least favorite.

I gambled at all games and played anybody and everybody.

Jack White was incredible -- I caught him 3 times: at Southern Miss, South Alabama, and Keesler Air Force Base. Additionally, he was Scott Lee's mentor.

The 2 is a great table, as are all GC's. The issue is if the rubber is rotted, the Brunswick Superspeed (or 3rd party) rubber available today does not fit properly. To make it "right", the wood rail needs to be beveled slightly differently than what it was from the factory.

On the plus side, the original rubber on the GC1 and 2 was legendary for lasting well over 50 years. If you can play on the table and it plays well, then just leave the rubber as-is. If its shot and the balls bounce dead off of it, the costs will add up if you want the table "right".

GC1 and GC2, and very early GC3's had this older rubber shape. The later GC3's thru the GC6 have the new rubber shape. Besides the shape difference, the earlier rubber was made with different materials that lasted forever. The older rubber is known as Monarch Cushions.
