I went from 3 maybe a little over on couple spots to 4 rails of bounce when I changed . I would have been happy with my 50 year old monarchs on my gc2 but there was a couple of sketchy places .
I have decided to just have my table mechanic that has done numerous gold crown restoration for over 20 years put new cushions on my gold crown 2 . I was just trying keep this as original as possible because it has sit in the same home since day it was purchased 50 years ago and only recovered...
I’m not sure I wanna go that route . Like to keep it as close original as possible . When family comes over and plays it’s pretty enjoyable with these pocket sizes . Maybe this is way it supposed to play but just got used to the cushions and speed olhausen table I had before I picked up this...
I have zero issues paying for anything . He just said i could have the extra set of Artemis cushions he has I I wanted them or get me the superspeeds at cost . This all started asking if monarchs are still good after 50 years . I’m only getting little over 3 rails bounce back .
My guy didn’t say they were only ones that fit I may have misspoke . He has a new set of Artemis and said I could have them if I wanted to go that route or pay for superspeeds . Either way there is no current direct replacement for the monarchs
My 50 year old crown 2 has original monarch cushions on it and was curious how many rails should I get on bounce back ? I’m a little over 3 too 3.5 . Wasn’t sure this normal or time to replace with something else . Artemis?
