Casting, yes. Table, no. And, not all castings have the date. All four of mine do not.

What if the rails were made before the castings? Pedestals? Feet?So, the only thing we know here is that we don't know the date your castings were made.
And, I agree, we don't know the the date the table was made, I think I was clear on that, but we knwo it must have been made after the date on the castings, no?
What's a "pedestal?"
And what difference does it make, whether the rails were made before or after the castings? I assume my rails were made after, since they have the embedded nut plates and not the figure eight nut plates; and that the nut plates changed after 1967 or so. I am not surprised, since I assume the castings were made in batches.
If you don't know, I can't help you.
That's very helpful, thanks.
You're welcome.
Pedestal/legs/base/two things the frame sits on. Another covid-boredom thread. Its gettin' us all.
Ah, I see. Thanks. It's not called a pedestal in the GC documentation, it's simple called a "leg assembly" (parts manual) or "legs" (service manual).
My late GCI for a fact is not a "Franken table". I was given a complete chain of custody when I bought it. The original owner bought my GCI from a Brunswick dealer in 1971, it was installed in his house. In 1989 it was purchased by the second owner who was a friend of the original owner and installed in his basement so his grandchildren would have entertainment when visiting. There it sat until Dec of 2011 when I bought it as the 3rd owner. The table was only recovered once prior to me owning it which was done when it was moved the first time in 1989. It is an AR6100 GCI with captured nuts in the rails, adjustable feet, it has the short aluminum extruded pieces for retaining the rail blinds, and it was originally painted white, oh and by the way it also had corner castings dated 1962. If this table sat in inventory from the casting date of 1962 until it was installed in 1971 it would be an early GCI most likely with figure 8 rail retainers instead of captured nuts. It probably would not have segmented rail blind mounts or adjustable feet either.
