Does anyone know anything about "Goldtek" cushions?

My Steepleton (34 years old) came with Goldtek cushions. When we had the table recovered last year the mechanic told us that they were still good. Was told that at the time my table was built Steepleton used either Goldtek ( a good quality cushion) or another brand that was not a good quality. Lucked out and had Goldteks.
Steepletons were great tables back in the day. Our local hall had both Brunswick and Steepleton T-rail tables from the 30's and 40's. The front table was a 1930ish Steepleton with walnut rail caps and bell shaped legs like a Brunswick Kling, and it was an awesome table, other than the pockets being too big I thought it was actually better than the Brunswicks we had in there. The Brunswicks were Challengers I do believe.

Simonis Stickers

Now that my new Diamond Professional is about a month away from delivery I am wondering where I can get some of those little Simonis stickers to put on it? I think they come in two different sizes.

Anybody know where they are sold? Or should I just contact Simonis up near Chicago?

Turning Stone

I remember the standard set used to be races to 11 winner breaks all over the country.

Then slowly

The pockets got tighter and tighter

The races got shorter and shorter

The games got longer and longer.

🤷🏻‍♂️😞
This is still attributable to the fat jockheadfirst culture. Play to win like maha said.
IOW few even try to improve their accuracy and never will - try_ or_ improve. Thankfully equipment specs have tightened considerably anyway.
