The Global thing makes sense. Not a "real" Gold Crown, I agree. Says Gold Crown right on it☺️ Never heard the Valley/Dynamo thing. Shares absolutely no parts with either.

Coin-op Gold Crown. 7ft, one piece slate, superspeed cushions. Originally came with a battery and sensors that detected and separated the cue ball. Never worked very well at all, but was also designed to return a oversized cue ball too so owners did that, but that sucked. Valley's magnetic cue...

Don't do it! It will definitely play faster if you did as the iron will smooth most all the texture from the top of the wool/nylon blend cloth. Your ability to apply english will suffer immensely. It's the texture of the cloth that allows you to perform english. I sometimes use a small carpet...

Good luck keeping it level up there. When you gonna create some more Youtube content King?

Wood cross members are going way back. Aluminum is more structurally sound and was an upgrade to the problems with wood. Most guy's don't check the tightness of the bolts because they can't see them.

Tournament green. Pool originally started out as the indoor (winter) version of Golf. Hence the turf color. Bonus question, if the cloth is green why is the chalk blue?

Good catch, I did mean brake fluid. We'll just call that "having a Biden moment".

I've often wondered how some cushions from the same manufacturer can last decades and others don't last five years before turning hard and brittle. I suspect it comes down to whoever mixed the rubber that day. Opinions? As a rail rubber ages from time and flexing when a ball hits it they begin...

Remove the ball drop gate and use a standard cue ball.

This is the best puller I've found. It says C S Osborne & CO on it. What do you use? Here's some rails that was on a table I bought. Look at all these staples! Pulling staples is the worst part of the job for me. And people scoff at the glue down method. Pfffff I use less staples on the whole...

I opened up an account with them. I got it for less than $100 there too. Thanks for the replies. Duct tape comes loose too. Months later I'll see tape hanging down. I've tried Gorilla tape, same thing. I've found it best to go heavy on the spray glue on the flap and underneath the table.

What King said. Also, older Valley's used a foam type mat in the ball dump that would eventually get divots in it and keep some balls from dumping. The fix is to scrape out the old and glue down a denser rubber mat. Suppliers sell them.

I got it from Cuestix but they discontinued it. :( I'll probably have to go with the Championship worsted cloth for more money. You have to be a business to buy from Cuestix.

Underneath corner pocket. Ready to re-assemble.
