Yea, that's what I want - a "standard" Gold Crown I. This isn't for competition, it's a family enjoyment table. If I tighten up the pockets it's not going to be fun for family and friends anymore. The TDF for my table is just about 0.95. I might replace the facings with stiff neoprene...

O.K., got it thanks. As long as it ends up what it was when it left the factory in the 60's I'm fine. :)

Thanks. I see Classic Billiards sells facings in 50, 60, and 75 Durometer. Do you know what Durometer the original Gold Crown I used?

Thanks, Trent. Why is that?

Maybe it's rocket surgery? :) Seriously, so, you'd pry the slate up to level and then crazy glue the seam? Just trying to understand.

Thanks. Are they sandable or grindable? Or do you have to get them on just perfectly the first time?

Question for the experts. Background: I can see and feel through the cloth on my Gold Crown I that there are imperfections in the interface of facing to rubber/subrail. I am planning on recovering. Is there a compound, like a rubber material that sets, that can be sanded or ground to a...

Hey there. Where are you located and how much do you want for that table??? Seriously, that's a rare, beautiful bird, and it would be a shame to hack it up into a pool table. I imagine it's worth more than a pool GCI, and it might be best to sell it and get a GCI for pool, or even trade it...

I'm not a mechanic, perhaps you are? I don't think there's a general consensus that crazy glue and bondo are a good way to go. They are both relatively permanent, and not easily reversed if something goes awry. The vast majority of tables over the last couple of hundred years are just...

IANAM. That is a really interesting suggestion! I see in the Brunswick Gold Crown I Service Manual (which is the installation manual) they say to level the base frame by planing down high spots. I would hesitate to plane the slate liner unless there was an obvious defect, but I would...

Hi Trent, I actually need six. jv

Thanks! I asked, he referred me to Classic Billiards, and they don't have them. jv

Hi guys, I need six (6) of the original Gold Crown I rail bolts. They are 3/8-16 x 2" slotted head hex bolts. Yes, they are probably rusty, that's the way I like them! Willing to pay a reasonable price plus shipping. Regards, jv p.s. Trent, I sent a PM to you on this, I guess you're...

Thanks for the detailed reply, and what sounds like great advice. I stopped getting to Ayer when I got a new job in Boston. It was initially supposed to be in Chelmsford, which would have been great, to get to Ayer Tuesday evenings, and other evenings. I guess I could still make it there...

Are break cues generally lighter for that reason?

Thanks, everyone, for the replies so far. I really don't know what I'm doing here, but I know I rarely sink anything on the break, and I thought maybe a harder tip would help. But maybe it won't! Maybe I'm looking for an excuse to get another cue. I really like the Lucasi playing cue I got...

Greetings, I confess I'm not a fan f these "help me decide" threads, but here I find myself. I want a break cue. I like the Lucasi L-2000JB, which I can get at a good price. I also am attracted to the McDermott NG01 "Stinger." That said, I could always put a break tip on one of the shafts...

I just emailed sales@lucasipoolcues.com asking if they are the US arm of Lucasi, and if they can identify the cue I bought in December. I'll let you know what they say.

Oh, O.K., thanks; so, that site is the Lucasi USA site? I was wondering how one might invoke the warranty if needed.

Thanks. I found that too, but it's not the manufacturer's website. On their "about" page you'll find: "Lucasipoolcues.com is a trusted online dealer of Lucasi Custom and Lucasi Hybrid Pool Cues and accessories."
