My earlier post was for the nine ft Gold Crown staple down, shown in the first half of the DVD. On glue down 7 and 8 ft bar tables the procedure is different. the side pockets are "slacked" by pushing the cloth into the side pocket radius AFTER the long side corners are stretched across. The...

Hi All, I made the bed cloth DVD, (yes that's me in the DVD). The issue with seeing stretch shadows can be alleviated by three procedures. First, make sure you establish YOUR index with the size and cloth model you are using. for example, gray 760 and tour blue 860 HR on a nine ft pool table...

Hi E, Check your PM. I'm delivering a Diamond smart table to Winooski in the next couple of weeks. We can schedule you in then. Jay

The 860 HR is a 70/30 blend just like the tour edition. I've found the 860 HR lasts every bit as long and plays better when worn than the tour edition. I recommend to all my pool halls and clubs to go with 860 HR or 760 which are both a 70% wool 30% nylon blend. Simonis 860 is a 90% wool 10%...

Well said Mark, while reading about mechanics fighting and knocking each other might be entertaining to some, it certainly not what this forum was established for. Keep in mind, most of the mechanics on this forum are out working for a living 40-50 hours a week and don't have the time to...

I use 4-8 levels, Diamond uses 16-28 levels per table, this way you can see the effect on each adjustment of the slate. Many of the mechanics use one or two machinist levels along with directional cards to simulate having additional levels... My question is why are you knocking a method of...

Simonis and Championship tour edition cost the same money. As a matter of fact, I think the Championship is a few bucks more. Simonis 860 HR will last every bit as long as Tour edition and play better, especially when worn in. Jay

The way I read the initial post was that he was looking for "pool table". Many company's build tables with six legs, Peter Vitalie, Connelly, older Brunswicks Kling's, Arcades, Rochesters to name just a few in nine foot models. The only tables I've ever seen with a five piece slate are 6x12...

We do move a lot of slate, including 700 lbs carom slates, one piece 8 ft slates, and many 9 ft three piece slates. The issues for our company are safety first, the OTL-vise is the safest way we've found of moving slate up and down stairs, across long driveways and back yards and even on level...

Hi, I have them in stock, those inserts are used to pull together the aprons to the 90 degree corner blocks. The larger ones are used to pull together the rails. I also have the nylon inserts and bushings for the corner blocking. Jay 603 765 6160

Thanks, Bill gave me a call. I found out he's been very ill as of late but claims he's on the mend slowly now. Jay

Hi all, Does anybody know how I can contact Bill Smith? We used to talk regularly on the phone and I was planning a trip to Florida the end of this month and would like to look him up. Jay Spielberg A-1 Billiards

I would also recommend Mark Gregory. He'll do a great job on the rails and pocket openings. Jay

Where are you located? What condition are your tables in? Are you doing all the tables at one time? These are all factors in determining a price. Jay

The carom tables that use 50-60 millimeter slate (2 inch plus thickness) Kleber or Artemis P37 shelf cushions, heated slate, heavy duty frame and leveling system. Some of the tables that incorporate the specs above are, Verhoeven, Soren Sogaard, Chevillotte, Gabriel, Willamina, Breton... These...

I'm glad everything worked out for you. Jay

The earlier Gold Crown 5 rails had some variation in the recess depth of the poplar rail relative to the height of the formica. The fix is very straightforward, remove the rails and castings and carefully sand the bare wood under the casting down the required amount to flush the casting. Take...

Thanks Dave, You were a patient customer and a very good guy. Josh and I enjoyed meeting you and working on your Diamond. Looking forward to seeing you at more of those major tournaments this coming year. Jay

Check it out.

I and others have posted many times about this same issue. The early Gold Crown ones had fixed feet and a plastic name plate. Later Gold crown ones had adjustable feet and a metal name plate, but they still Gold crown ones. The Gold Crown 2 was only manufactured from late 1973-1976 and they had...
