I picked up a Brunswick Southern table (probably 1900). The meausrements of the existing Super Speed cushions don't match the K55, K66 or the old style K55. I measured twice, even used calipers. See the attachment for measurments. Which cusion should I repelce with?

Thanks,

There is not direct replacement for the original Monarch SuperSpeed cushions. The closest modern replacement is K55 but the subrail bevel needs to be adjusted to accept modern K55 cushions to ensure proper nose height and playing surface dimension integrity.
 
Looking at my picture it looks like I'd pass the rail through a table saw and rip the "glue surface" so that if would be 1 5/16" instead of 1 1/4". I'd set the blade so as not to remove any material from the bottom and just a small amout from the top to acheive my new glue surface. This would change the angle of the rail so as to lift the nose of the cushion up slightly. Will that still maintain the proper nose height?

Anyone have a drawing of the modification?

Thanks,

Eric
