Medalist Price In the Dallas area, via Craigslist, I think 800 to $1,000 would be a reasonable price for a Medalist in good to very good condition. However, though, someone who wants a Medalist in particular might give a bit more. jfe

Replacing Pockets on GC II The pockets are held in place by two hex screws. Look for the recesses on the inside wall of the pocket. Remove the screws and squeeze the pocket to deform it enough to remove it from the top or bottom. Be sure and set the screws deep in the recess when you...

Granito Cloth skydawg, I have played extensively on Granito Basalt. It is an excellent cloth, and in my opinion plays just like Simonis 760. The drawback to Granito is its lack of availability. It is difficult, and sometimes impossible, to get. Conversely, Simonis is always available...

Tyler Thanks, JPowell, I'll check those out. jfred

We may relocate to Tyler. :D Does anyone know anything about the pool halls there? Thanks for any info. jfe

Sport King Hey, Jed. Congratulations on the find. Sport Kings are good tables, and play nice. No, it is not a one piece slate. The slate seams lie on the cross braces and are not visible....thus people who don't know better look underneath and assume it's one piece. Cracked slates are...

Which GC If the aprons attach to the rails with a j-clip, it is a I or II. GC III aprons bolt to the underside of the rails. The bolts are easily visible from underneath the table. If it has large counters, it is a I or II. Small counters mean III or later. (Stand at the foot of the table...

Learning to Recover Your Table Hey, Digger. If you're a DIY type and usually get good results, then you should give the recover a try. Here's a method that will get you some practice before you do it for real with that 860. Buy a 1/2 crown air stapler at Harbor Freight. $20.00 Use the...

Cloth Remnants Hey, Dartman, Received the 760 a couple weeks ago, but just now got around to opening it up. I was pleasantly surprised to find all the other remnants you stuffed the box with. :grin: I'll use all of them for some billiard room accessories I'm working on. Thanks for...

Gold Crown SDB, The 1961 Gold Crown manual shows non-adjustable feet. I think that the 1963 Gold Crown manual shows adjustable feet. Thus, even early GCI's can have adjustables. I have a GCI that came to me with a 1961 manual, but I can only positively trace the table back to 1967. That...

GCI pockets The Classic Billiards pockets I recommended are made of plastic. Once again, though, they don't leave black marks on the balls. I am sure happy with mine. Also, I am assuming you are looking for drop pockets, and not ball return. If you're interested in used pockets, GCI, II, or...

I bought a set of replacement GC pockets from Classic Billiards. He has two types for sale, one is considerably cheaper, but I recommend the more expensive set. I think they run about $85.00. They look right, and hold about 10 balls each. Also, they don't leave any kind of marks on the...

The wheels are oriented the same direction on I's, II's, and III's. As you stand at the foot of the table, the top of the wheel is turned either away from you or toward you. The photo of the GCIII High Tec Black table seems to create a bit of an optical illusion that it's wheels are "sideways"...

Is it a 3? Noles20, Unless the table is a mix of parts, it's a 3 or newer because it has the small rail counters. Scroll back up to the original poster's table, and compare the size of the counters with your table. I's and II's had the larger counters. jfe

Another thing.... Ludwigman, BIG FYI, in case you don't already know.....The slates on I's, II's, and some early III's have index pins at the joints. Be sure to slide the slates apart horizontally at least 1/2 inch to disengage the pins before lifting the slates from the frame. Failure to do...

1 or 2 Ludwigman, That table has the large rail score counters and the plastic sub-aprons. That makes it a I or II. If it has non adjustable leg levelers, it is an early I. GC I's and II's have j-clips that are used to attach the aprons to the rails. GC III aprons bolt to the underside of the...

Excellent Job! Danny, How about a "step by step" rundown on your metal refinishing? It sure looks good. :thumbup: jfred

Nice Table, BobT Nice Anniversary, for sure. :thumbup: jfe

Fair Price for Anniversary? Hi, Lucked Out. A "fair price" for an Anniversary is dependent upon its condition, availability, and the lowest price that both you and the seller can agree upon. Size doesn't matter, unless you have a distinct preference. I think an Anniversary in very good...

Yep You bet I'm interested. I love old Brunswicks, and it's sure good to see someone go the extra mile to put one back in fine condition. Congratulations on your project. :thumbup: jfred
