Parts to convert Gold Crown 5 to ball return

Anyone know if a set of rails from a gold crown 4 will work on the 5?
l believe if you change the entire top the GC1 thru 5 (possibly 6?) are interchangeable. There was a thread about 15 years ago where a room full of GC1’s were upgraded with new GC5 tops bought directly from Brunswick. It was at a room in Chicago and PJ posted pics of them.

Edit: here are two threads about it:

My Fargorate progression

What have you done with Nick!?! :eek::mad:

If you really are Nick, I think you should send half of the $5k to Diamond.:devilish:

Oh, and congratulations! (y)
I met Glen at the Expo. We actually got along great. I don't know if its super public knowledge, but lets just say I'll be even happier with how Diamond's play come about Q1 2027. They will be a lot closer to the new GC7. Wink wink.

Anyone familiar with this cue maker? Any info would be great. Is he still alive and making cues? Where is he located? The name on the cue is VASILIOS. Thanks in advance.

Drills to correct your alignment

George Fels talked about it frequently. So do a lot of instructors. The Wagon Wheel drill is just one example.
George said something like, "I don't know how hard you're hitting the ball, but I know it's too hard."

George's exercise for this was: run a rack without ever hitting the back of the pocket.
I think that was his first line in his straight pool book, from what I remember.
