Looks like a pretty decent furniture style table. Don't see many cheap imports that have 6 legs. If I needed a table I'd consider this one.
Sorry, don't know the maker...

I am looking for parts to convert my Gold Crown 5 Tournament edition to have a ball return. I have contacted Classsic Billiards and they only have the pockets, Brunswick was no help. Anyone converted one or even maybe have the parts to sell?

It’s late in life and not interested in projects but I would love to it. The Gold Crowns are modern art. Built to last generations. I’d refinish the aprons and box. Have the rails professionally done/refinished. I have a professional Baldor buffer to hi shine the pocket castings.
Or simply set it up and have fun the way it is. Gold Crowns are the highest form of pool table beauty. And now that the traditional style ended at the GC4 these older tables are a rare collectible.

The micarta that had asbestos was typical reserved for military applications (not necessary MIL-spec). The information came from a 30+ year engineer at International paper who knew exactly what the formula was for old yellow micarta. Unfortunately they were not allowed to recreate it due to gov't regulations.

Oh, you meant that the asbestos 'micarta' was all military material. Your first post was a bit ambiguous. I can believe that there were military-only runs/mixes of phenolics.
