Where to Buy Gold Crown V Castings

Does anyone know where I could find GC V castings, as well as other parts? My Googling has not been fruitful as I've only been able to locate some for GC I-IV

Thanks!
 
As far as I know GC5 parts are unavailable.
What parts are you after :)
These castings are available however their really only suitable for GC5 replica tables.
Notice how the bolt holes are on a 45 degree angle and not 90 degrees, also no Brunswick logo on the casting.

They’re different? It’s actually a knock off that I have, but I thought I could just get some Brunswick ones to replace my scratched ones. So where could I get those ones that you posted?

Is this the same table you posted pics of? What's wrong with the castings? Its a pool table not a museum piece.

I don't like scratches/gouges. I enjoy museum quality stuff. And if I'm going to be saving all that money not buying a new table, I'm going to make this one as close to brand new as I can :)

Totally agree with you. It’s not a tool set. It’s as much beautiful furniture as it is recreational. My cues are like that also... it's ok to keep things in showroom condition. It says so in the rules of life.

I like that you really take care of your equipment, but yeah you have to play on a table, you might be able to store cues away just to look at, but who has the space, and money, just to dedicate a table for static display purposes only. Rail caps and pocket castings are going to show some wear over time, most of which can be taken care of periodically, no biggie if a table shows some signs of play. Having said that, if someone shows up at my house wanting to play and they have a big cast metal longhorn belt buckle I'll probably request they remove that before they start stretching over my table.

So you have a knock off table and want to put Brunswick logo's on it??

I would like brand new castings with no scratches, most definitely would prefer no logo if that would be possible, but would take them with a logo if that was the only option.

Any idea where I could get either?

I mean ideally I would want the replacement parts for my particular table - best I can tell is it’s a Yalin, but have not had any success sourcing parts for it at all. I figured I’d have more luck with Brunswick parts ( my understanding was the parts were interchangeable with the GC V)

Ok Great, what if I told you I could get the yalin replacement parts?

I would love that! I would ask you how much and what other parts can you get :)

First I would need to make sure that is actually what I have (pretty sure it is though at first I thought it was an Olio)

You seem to know what you are talking about - as an alternative, would you know if it's possible to "polish" these things or otherwise make them "like new"? Or is this not something you can do with this type of metal?

Its a plating over zinc pot metal, no to polish. You could have them powder coated, but at that point I would have ALL the table trims powdercoated. I am waiting for my supplier in california to get back to me, i emailed them last night and its very early there! i will update you on the castings. update soon

They are not in stock anymore :( I tried. They were afforable too, Brunswick ones are not going to be though. You could have them replated or powdercoated, check out some plating and powder shops and see what pricing is like, powder will be the most affordable and DURABLE finish and if the metal has no deep nicks or scratches, a standard smooth finish can be used, i generally use vein style powder that has a textured finish. i tried to save the day, hope you figure out something that will make ya happy, have a great day!

Really appreciate the help! So I suppose back to my original question - is it possible to get Brunswick castings and do you know if they should fit? If so, roughly how much for all 6? I'd rather not have the logo, but I would be ok with it. And yes, there are some deep gouges in a couple.

I don't mind spending a bit as I'm essentially sprucing up my table rather than buying a new one (I do enjoy my current table)
 
I wonder if it might be possible for a company that does 3D metal printing to offer a solution from a CAD drawing of the part (some may create drawings from your sample - we do that at my work for molded rubber components). 3D printed part might have to be polished, powder coated or plated after produced. I have seen several of the high-end automotive restorers on TV shows do 3D printed parts and also sand castings to make one-off parts to restore classic cars.

If there were enough folks looking for a certain component, could do a group buy to share the cost of a small production run. This outfit is networked with all types of metal fabrication shops (machining, casting, 3D printing, etc) and they claim they will offer quotes instantly if you upload your CAD file. Never dealt with them - just giving someone a starting point if they were interested to explore.

Maybe a boondoggle...maybe an halfway decent idea. Hope it helps.
