I would post this in the "Ask a Mechanic" section. These table have been asked about over the years. I'm sure some of the techs have experience with them. Here's one: https://forums.azbilliards.com/showthread.php?t=199576&highlight=Grand+Prix+tablesI am considering purchasing an AMF table and would like to hear any information about them, good or bad.
Table looks to be a pretty close knock-off of a black Gold Crown.

I bought one a few years back from a closing pool room. I spent about 1,000 bucks for it. I set it up myself in my basement. This table isn't as nice as a Gold Crown but I wasn't able to find a decent GC in my area. The one thing that stands out to me is the cushions aren't as lively as a nice GC. To compensate for this I put 760 Simonis on it. Overall, I've been satisfied with how it plays. I've thought about redoing the cushions but I'm not sure it would really improve the play-ability enough to justify it. So a well set up Grand Prix is a decent table in my opinion and they are build solidly ENOUGH to last forever in a home environment.
Here's me playing on it, well sort of. This is about the only type of play I get here recently but that's a good thing.

I say my table plays better than a poorly setup or poorly maintained GC but not as good as a nicely setup or maintained one.
I bought my AMF Grand Prix 21+ years ago snip snip snip...
Back in 1969, I installed 32 Grand Prix tables. They had the floating bed, figure 8 base and rubber feather strips.
The picture from Sealegs 50 is a completely different table. So I don’t know which table the OP was asking about.
The original Grand Prix was a pretty good table.
