Mike, The problem is that your table will most likely be delivered with the rails covered with new cloth. That will make changing the facings impossible without recovering the rails. The basic solution is to change the factory 1/8 in facings to a 3/16 or 1/4 facing thereby reducing the pockets...

Jack, unfortunately this kind of lazy ass work has been part of our world since day one. Great job cleaning up behind the last lazy SOB's that worked on that table. Show the customer what you had to go through so he can appreciate a job done correctly. Jay

John are you looking for a heated carom table 5x10? If so the answer is yes. Both new and used, call me for details Jay

Hey John, The remark about the "more experience the less time" I would have to disagree. As your skill set and experience increases your demands for a more exacting install also increase. I would agree that 3-4 hours is a reasonable period to allow for the install described. Jay

I just completed two 7 ft Valley bar tables with Ridgeback rails and 860 hr. The measure of the difference between before and after is night and day!! When you get into comparing this set up to a diamond your talking apples and oranges. No matter what you do to a Valley it will never compare to...

Gary A... over in Shreveport LA has both Gold Crown 1-2-3 and an older Diamond pro. If you PM me I'll give you his phone number. Jay

How much for the 25 sets of 9 ft slate?

I've done it both ways. If you are using Brunswick Super speed cushions the bottom glued edge will have a very slight amount of extra surface to glue up to. The draw back is that if you ever need to extract the captured nut plate you'll have to cut out or remove the plug. Since I started using...

Here's a link to Classic Billiards. The owner is Ken Hash. Very knowledgeable guy with a huge inventory of old Brunswick parts. http://www.classicbilliards.net/. Hope this helps Jay

That is a late Gold crown 1,or an early Gold Crown 2 probably manufactured between 1969 and 1974. The corner castings you requested are available through Classic billiards. I have one set but they belong to the carom table I have. Jay

Yes! Although the format might be different, the seminars will be an ongoing process. Glen told me the completion of the DVD series to support the seminars is the next step in this on-going program. Jay

I may have the parts you requested. The problem is that the Gold Crown models didn't start until 1961. The Brunswick tables made before that were Anniversary's, Centennials or Sport Kings which I don't have the corner castings for. If you could post a picture I could identify the model and...

Ken Hash, http://www.classicbilliards.net/ He's got them in stock

Hey Craig, We really missed you there good buddy. It would have been great to have another mechanic there familiar with the glue down system. I used my rubber jawed duck billed vice grips to stretch the cloth, with my free hand underneath the unglued portion. Pulling my freehand out every 8-12...

Josh and Don, As I mentioned earlier you guy's were great to work with! We did have the advantage of working with Glen one on one. The thing I came away with was that Glen had really found the methodology to produce the most consistent and repeatable finished product period!!! After a lifetime...

Great pic's, Pleasure meeting you also. You saved the day with your recip saw! Hope to see you the next time I'm in the area. Jay

I wanted to thank Glen and all the mechanics who showed up in Alsip. It was great to finally meet face to face. The glue down bed cloth system that Glen demonstrated in conjunction with his measured lay out is the best method of achieving consistent results I've ever seen! I would like to...

Lacquer thinner will dissolve the wax completely. Just remember to use a clean absorbent cloth and flip the cloth frequently. Jay

Try Donny from SD Billiards. He's one of the best! Jay

Hey John, They are made from bass wood. I love them because they plane like butter and the wood is a little spongy. I replace feather strips on more than half the tables I work on. If broken replace, if they don't fit perfect replace, and if they have and tape or tack holes replace them. The...
