    Gold Crown 1 rehab. Lots of questions...

    Welcome! The 1963 date is simply when the pocket castings were cast. There's really no way of knowing exactly what year the table was "made". These were kitted together when sold and not assembled as a unit like a car. The legs, stretcher, ball storage tray and ball return box (if so...

    Beginning Gold Crown Restoration

    That sucks about the Formica. Luckily, my rails were in decent shape. Your ball box looks about like mine. It's going to be very expensive to restore and replate it. You'll also loose the brushed look where the logo is. Here's mine.

    Beginning Gold Crown Restoration

    Welcome! Sounds ike your project is right up my alley. I restored my Gold Crown I about 5-6 years ago: https://forums.azbilliards.com/threads/gold-crown-barn-find.497624/ From what you are describing, it sounds like you've got a Gold Crown I. If it had been a Gold Crown II, under all that...

    Time for new pool balls - Aramith Tournament Pro-Cup or Brunswick Centennial

    They are the same balls just different font and inlays. Have you considered Dynaspheres? IMO, they are just as good, if not better than the offerings from Aramith and they make a set with traditional colors..

    Gold crown 1 ball return box install questions

    The face of my aprons are 12.7°. The face of the ball storage tray and ball return box are 9.0°. I cannot effectively measure the block spacers for the ball storage tray as there is limited access. Based on the pics provided, yours appear to be in line with mine.

    Gold crown 1 ball return box install questions

    How far does the ball return box stick out in the front? Just checked, the return box on my table is mounted about 1/2" inward from the face of the ball storage tray.

    Replacing Gold Crown I Pockets

    I'd rather fade the occasional rubber on the shaft than install nail in pockets. You are asking for ball nicks and scratches. I've been using the Gold Crown reproductions from Born Winner. They are lower profile than the originals and do not leave marks. I've used them on my table for about...

    Gold crown 1 ball return box install questions

    Mine is pretty flush but my table is a later GCI so the ball tray hangs off the rail trim like the aprons.

    pool cue once in a lifetime buy

    I'd go back and throw the guy $150-$200 and still feel great about the deal. No such thing as too much good karma.

    Gold crown 1 ball return box install questions

    Here are shots of mine. You really need to address the splits in the wood at the mounting holes, otherwise the mount will not be solid or stable. I epoxied mine together and drilled out/plugged the holes with dowels prior to repainting, then drilled new pilot holes for a solid mount. It's...

    rexus31.......HACKED!!!

    I got a notification via email the email address linked to my AZB account was changed. I tried to login to change it back and change my password, but was unable to do so. Apparently, the hacker posted some items for sale; a 4x8 JB Case and a Breach at extremely low prices. I hope no one sent...

    Arimith Super Pro pool balls

    I'm also a little confused as the title of the thread indicates Aramith Super Pros, yet the photo you posted clearly shows an Aramith Tournament Set 7B and 5B. Were these balls advertised as Super Pros? Where did you purchase them?
