Parts List for Sport King Thanks, Scruffy1. The only Sport King I've had any hands on contact with in years has the particle board aprons and legs. Both are painted with the splatter finish. I was just wondering if the multiple part numbers might have been an upgrade to wood or even formica...

Scruffy1, Nice parts list. Could you tell me what it says about the aprons, 48, 52, 56? And also the leg #1. Thanks. jfe

Model D-C Danny, I think Centennials, Anniversaries, (and possibly Sport Kings) were available in a progression of models, from Model C, to Model C-1, to the later Model D-C. I think that the differences were the casting finish on the C's and C-1's were a baked finish, and the finish on the...

slow Slow for me, too, yesterday and today. This has been posted by others several times over the last few months. I never had a problem with it until now. :mad: jfe

Sanding Sealer Yep, I always use the Sherwin Williams nitrocellulose lacquer and the corresponding sanding sealer. Compatibility is important in a finish system. Most big time finishers agree that is seldom a good idea to mix brands. That's another advantage to Sherwin Williams....they...

Air Dryer Hey, Danny, I just saw a small inline dessicant air dryer for a paint gun at Northern Tool. The price was about $28.00. That should work good to remove the humidity from that Tyler air. :) Jfe

Darn Woops. In re-reading Chuck's post, I see he is looking for reviews of current Brunswick models. The Madison was discontinued some years ago. :o Sorry 'bout that. jfe

Brunswick Review Chuck, My first table was a late 80's or early 90's Brunswick Madison. I bought it second hand. Because I was getting interested in working on pool tables, I used the Madison as my guinea pig. I tore it down and set it up several times. I did make a few alterations to the...

I was a general remodeling contractor on my days off from the fire department for thirty years. Toward the end, I had nice woodworking shop where I built cabinets for my jobs. Lacquer was my finish of choice for stained cabinetry. Most of what I know about finishing I got from a forum called...

Lacquer Questions Hey, Danny, I PM'd you some info on the spray gun, but can't tell if it went through. Anyway, I recommended the Astro Pneumatic HVLP with a 1.7 tip. I bought mine from SprayGunWorld on the internet. jfe

Best Pool Balls Most people who are lucky enough to have played with the top of the line billiard balls have their personal favorites. I like Aramith Super Pros and new Centennials. However, between those two, I prefer Centennials. Their design scheme provides more aiming and reference...

8 foot GC They are actually Pro 8's. 46 by 92 play field. jfe

Identifying GC Model Number I know a little about I's, II's, and III's. Here's what I think about the model differences: I's were produced from 1961 to 1974. II's from 1974 to 1976. III's from 1976 till introduction of IV's (not sure of that date, 1997 maybe?) Non adjustable feet were used...

Wet Gold Crown If it were me, I'd get those rails removed and turned bottom side up ASAP. The bed cloth has wicked the water up under them and will stay wet a long time. The rail wood will soak up the water as fast as the cloth can get it under there. Once you have dried the bottom of the...

Tools Supercoupe, Dartman is right about the open end wrenches. A GCI and probably GCII's have some square head frame bolts that require open end wrenches. Sockets and box ends won't work for those particular bolts. Also, the GC pockets are attached with recessed Allen screws. Very...

Refinishing a Pool Table Alex, I, personally, don't have the patience for finish stripping. My wife does, so she always did it for me. She's the real stripper in our family.:D She uses Formby's brand. Most of my practical experience is in applying original finishes in stock colors, but I...

Table Refinish 92GTA, In a furniture (or pool table) refinish, a chemical strip is the preferred method to remove color. Sanding will remove too much wood and can ruin the fit relationship of the featherstrips, cloth, and cushions to the rail cap. Sanding can also prevent the wood from...

Painting a Gold Crown Hi, David. The application method depends primarily on the type of paint you choose. I think the GC I's and II's were finished with lacquer. Lacquer is a very good finish system, but can't be applied by any method other than spray. Lacquer sanding sealer, which is the...

Pivots different Thanks, LAMas. What you describe is the first pivot system I ever learned. Success with that is what caused me to want to learn more. From there, I went to Hal's Half Ball Pivot. I had decided that after I felt good with Half Ball, I would go to Pro one. It was only about 6...

Pivot direction Thanks, Stan. jfe
