That's a Gold Crown 1

Hey Rob, I'm very lucky to have two great mechanics that work for me and along with helpers we'll continue to get the work out. I'm in my forty fifth year of pool table service, and it's time to put the tools down. One of the things I'm very excited about is the Otl-vice that John Palmer...

No! It's a knock off. Olio or Berenger. Many other private label versions come out of China and Taiwan. Jay

Hey Rob, I couldn't make the show, I'm out of work completely due to a herniated disk in my lower back. I was talking with John Palmer, OTLB who said they had a great turn out. I'm trying to make the next trade show if possible. Jay

Paul, When Glen and I made the installation DVDs for Simonis we used 860 HR for both the bed and rail DVDs on the 9ft Gold crown and the Valley bar box. The 860 HR is the same cloth as 760, except that the final shearing of the playing surface, It's the same as 860. ( slightly more nap left on...

I don't like the smell of either one. Use ventilation in any case to get rid of the fumes. and no smoking or open flame, the fumes are combustible. Lacquer thinner dries quicker, make sure you dry the rags outside before disposal... Safety first. Jay

Very easy with lacquer thinner Rob, scrap of excess wax then wipe off with a well soaked rag. Easy Jay

Here is a link to a post by Mr Bond. This Comparison Chart has been discussed here before. I made a screen capture of it so it can be inserted into a thread:

The Gold crown 1 tables were manufactured from 1961-1973, they had several changes from the early models to the later ones. For example, the first few years the feet were non adjustable, they used a figure 8 plate to attach the rails, monarch (rather than super speed cushions) and a plastic...

lacquer thinner will dissolve wax.

The cushion needs to be stretched slightly from one end to the other during application. This will assure that the nose of the cushion is straight. If your "mechanic" is using contact cement for the installation, make sure the stretch is done before the two surfaces are bonded. Jay

Mark, The best finish I've ever seen! I know you went through a new process on this set, it looks like you've perfected it now. I'm very impressed with the color as well as the finish coats. I'll be sending you more than just rail rebuilds and liner work, maybe refinishing also. Really nice...
