Somewhere in this thread, a person asked if Diamondizing a Gold Crown would make the GC play better. In my experience, the answer is yes. Fourteen or fifteen years ago, there was a thread to that effect. A guy named RealKingCobra, who was, and may still be, a well-known table mechanic, discussed...

There's a GC 5 down around Houston, I think. On Marketplace for 4k.

Are you still looking for a gold Crown? There's three on Marketplace around Dallas.

Thanks, Dartman. I'll look into Championship Titan for my friend.

Thanks, Geoff.

A friend of mine has a mid-90's Brunswick Mission. He bought it new from a well-known dealer in Dallas, probably Billiards and Barstools. The original cloth has lasted thru 3 moves over the years, but now has enough wear to need replacing. He wants the same cloth, but my experience is limited...

I got in touch with the guy in Missouri. He says the table is a Brunswick. If that's the case, it is a GC 3 with the black rail caps.

A Gold Crown 3, looked to be about 30 years old, sold on Facebook Marketplace in Dallas a couple days ago for $500.00. I couldn't get the guy to answer and now it is marked sold. Right now, a dude named Asa Hovis has a table for $500.00 on Marketplace that looks like it may be a Black Gold...

Nice work, Geoff. And I stand corrected. What I should have said is that I, using the technique in the Simonis videos and following the instruction I learned here, have never been able to install Simonis without v-cuts showing unless I use the shirt collar trim. My apologies for my poor...

I keep a pretty close eye on Gold Crowns for sale around this area. I'll let you know if I see anything else.

There's a pretty nice pro eight GC for sale on Facebook Marketplace in Yukon, Oklahoma. They just lowered the asking price to $2800. It's been for sale for a couple of months.

All tables with wooden slate liners have the V cuts in the cloth at the pockets. The purpose of the "shirt collar trim" at the pockets is to cover the part of the V that is visible. If you find someone that knows how to make the shirt collar trim, he will be able to make your pockets look...

Thanks for the good words.

If you can't find a Gold Crown, I have a pristine Sport King. No scratches, dings, or chips. Pretty much the same play and very similar rails and corner metals. Same 3 piece pinned slate. Rails are the same as Anniversary. Located close to Tyler, Texas. $1,250.00. Joe at 972-689-0093
