I went with Simonis 860 Tournament Blue on my Gold Crown. Made the decision to put playability in front of cosmetics for almost everything in the room.

So many great quotes in this film. I actually had a Hustler quote engraved on my Delta 13 elite rack. Some of my favorites: Findlay: “I think I’ve heard of you Mr. Felson. You play pocket billiards, don’t you?” Fats: “You like to gamble, Eddie? Gamble money... on pool games?” Felson: “You...

It's not too difficult to make yourself, just time consuming. Only costs about $200 in materials, $70 of which are the decals.

Thanks. You can get those details at the Classic Billiards site. I, too, was looking for a vintage rack, but most of them are ridiculously expensive for some reason, and not in great shape. I'm glad I built my own, since I got to choose the stain I wanted, and design it the way I wanted.

Thanks. Those are just reproduction decals that I slapped on there, then there’s three coats of poly over the entire piece (including the decals).

Wanted to share a custom billiard ball rack that I built this week. Just finished mounting it to my wall; it'll go nicely with my Gold Crown. I don't have a ton of ball sets, but what's on there now: Shelves 1/2 - Brunswick Centennials Shelves 3/4 - Aramith Tournament Shelves 5/6 - Albany...

Anyone know anything about the Albany Billiard Ball "Ambassador" balls? I stumbled upon these.

I wasn't a fan of the aesthetic that the LED panels have (though their lighting is great), and I thought the Brunswick lights were too large and bulky. I ended up going with a four-light pendant light with a matching bar pendant. My ceiling is 57.5" from the playing surface, but I would have...

Thanks Trent. What would be involved on his end to re-level the table? Would they need to disassemble the rails, remove the cloth, etc?

I don't have a mechanic's level that's typically used for pool table installations. The torpedo level I do have doesn't show any huge discrepancies across the table - but I doubt it's accurate enough for this particular application. I did see the name Simonis on the edge of the cloth when the...

Just had a Gold Crown with Simonis 860 installed. I'm finding that on slow rolls of the cue ball across the table, the ball "veers" to the right about one to one-and-a-half ball widths (sometimes less) when shooting from one side of the table to the other. The ball begins straight, and then when...

Just had a restored Gold Crown III installed. Working on some finishing touches here and there - need to buy a cue rack and some scoring beads. A Brunswick player's chair and two stools are en route.

Looking for a Gold Crown IV (9') in the Albany, NY area. Please PM/respond here with any lead information. Thanks!
