Gold Crown III Price Cheessehead, I wouldn't venture a guess as to what your table might sell for, but I do have a thought on your situation. No doubt your table plays really nice. If you're serious about selling, though, you might take a beating due to the considerable amount of money...

Gold Crown III Price For the past couple of years, over my morning coffee, I search Texas Craigslist and ebay for Gold Crowns. If I'm not mistaken, I have been seeing that Fredricksburg ad for a long time. Maybe a year, maybe two or more........I can't recall. jfe

West Texas Gold Crown John, A couple of days ago, Craigslist had a Pro 8 Gold Crown I in Lampasas for $650.00. Joe

Price for Gold Crown III It's a supply and demand situation. I suppose there are thousands and thousands of Gold Crowns east of the Mississippi River. Naturally, some could be had there for bargain prices. However, I think runout1961 is in Texas. There are very few Gold Crowns out here...

Gold Crown Price Runout 1961, If you have been looking at the white refurbished GC2 in Sachse, I think it's now on Cragslist for $1800.00. According to the present owner, it's ready to go and in perfect shape. I'm acquainted with him, through a well known pro mechanic in the Dallas area...

Rail Cloth Before Finish GC 4, I've only worked on pool tables for a year, but I have built and finished woodwork and cabinetry since 1970. In my opinion, there are fundamental flaws with all of the ideas in your original post. A big part of the beauty of a nicely finished rail is that laser...

Cromwell Refinish It may be impossible to find out the exact product used in Brazil. Regardless, you should probably take one of the rails to a highly reputable antique furniture refinisher. Upon inspection, he will be able to give you a better appraisal than what you can get off the...

Golf Back in the sixties, huh? :p As I recall, back in '67 and '68 in Lewisville, Texas, we used pool balls to play golf. Nowadays, here in New Mexico, my good friend has a 5 x 10 Olhausen snooker table with step cushions. He's a golf nut, and only uses snooker balls. One day, just for...

Cromwell Refinish Hi, chhonos. I sent you a reply to your original thread in the Main Forum. Take look, and PM me if you have questions. jfe

-tip Hi, Chhonos. First of all, are you certain the clear top coat is lacquer? No offense intended, but many people refer to any clear finish as lacquer or varnish. Not necessarily true, as there are a whole bunch of clear finishes in use these days. Lacquer is just one of many...

I just received my autographed copy of Jimmy Reid's DVD/CD training package. He is currently offering the set on Ebay for $49.95 plus shipping. That's the best money I've spent on pool stuff in a long while! Thank you, Jimmy! :thumbup: jfe

3m 10 Jason, I inadvertantly posted before I was finished. I think the entire post is there now. The big risk is failure to be able to do a good clean job or possible damage to the cloth and table. The health and flammability risks can be minimized. jfe

3m 10 Hi, Jason. As I am just learning to work on pool tables, I have only done one glue down cloth installation. That job was not fun. However, I built custom cabinets for 40 years, and have a great deal of experience with contact adhesive. I will offer my advice based on that. From your...

Identifying Gold Crown Balls Thanks, Billy. Yes, the table is in excellent condition. I consider myself very lucky to have found it. Joe

Hello to all. Recently, I acquired a very nice Gold Crown I table. The gentleman I got it from knows its history back to the mid sixties, when the second owner got it. He thinks this ball set may be the original that came with the table, and possibly dates back to 1961-1965. Can any of you...

Moving a Gold Crown JC, You are quite right, sir. The razor knife reminds me that my second hand GCIII has pinned slates. That would not be obvious under bondo. I was of the impression that pinned slates were only on I's and II's. However, there is a date stamp on the edge of the slate...

Moving a Gold Crown DaveK, Looks like all the real pros are busy, but I can answer some of your questions. A disassembled GC fits easily in a full size pickup. No trailer needed. Slates are about 225 lbs each. Approx 35 x 56 inches. GCIII's disassemble with a ratchet, 3 sockets and a...

Gold Crowns bbb, Check your PM's. jfe

Rail Counter Thanks, Craig. I'll give him a call. jfe

As usual, I was in a hurry to refinish a counter face plate. Instead of posting here and asking how to disassemble the counter, I just tried to mask it off. After ruining a couple of the number wheels, I discovered I had a punch that was the perfect size to push the wheel axle out of the...
