I used Sherwin Williams Bonding Primer Aerosol and top coated with Sherwin Williams Emerald Urethane Trim Enamel. No issues 6 years later. I cleaned them with soap and water, allowed them to dry then scuffed them up lightly with the abrasive side of a kitchen sponge. I ran a tack cloth over...

Best to post this in the Billiard Balls Collectors thread in the Main Forum.

Cool. Did you index where the rail sites go?

It’s possible, but I don’t consider follow or draw “english”, but I can’t speak for Dennis.

I took a lesson some years ago from Dennis Orcullo. I asked him what percentage of his shots he applies english to the cue ball. He looked at me like I was from another planet before answering, "All of them".

That's too easy.

I’m fairly certain Saluc only uses the Duranith resin on Aramith branded balls. I think they use the Super Aramith Pro Resin on the Centrnnials and Predator Arcos.

Perhaps @realkingcobra can chime in on the subrail calibrations process.

He's removing the rail counters and plugging the holes.

I'd cal the manufacturer...Aramith and ask the same question.

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...

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.

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...

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..

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.

Hmmm...very odd.

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.

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...

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

What time are they starting today?
