Balls from head to foot are: 8, 13, 14, 9, 15, 2, 3, 1, 6. The 1-ball passes the 6-ball to the bottom right corner.

On Stalev's first shot on the 1-ball where it may have skidded, I wonder if he was trying to get on the foot rail so he could shoot the 13-ball at an angle to follow and bump the 6-ball higher for a better break shot.

Here is what Evgeny Stalev did. Not quite as straightforward as the paths you all suggested, but he got through it on his way to a 226-ball run. at 36:44: https://youtu.be/9pq8v1ZDpDA?t=36m44s

The only thing about taking the 4 first and going to the 2 next might be that the angle appears to be a little steep off of the 4 and might need a lot of reverse english to squeeze the cue ball between the 12 and 2 going off of the left rail and fall nicely on the 2. But maybe not. It just feels...

Interesting, Dan. I see your reasoning.

How would you run these? Ball numbers from head to foot are: 12, 2, 6, 9, 4, 1, 13. 2-ball and 4-ball are in the rack.

Thanks for playing, everyone. Alison Fisher chose to run the balls Dennis's way. Thoughts? Run begins at 18:59 https://youtu.be/bt7_bulzKuU?t=18m59s

Thanks, Bob. I just edited my original post to include the ball numbers.

Just for fun. How would you run these last 7 balls? Balls by the side pocket are 4 and 14, 2 and 12 nearest the right rail, 6 and 8 near rack, and 13 near foot rail.

Thank you!

I appreciate that. You shouldn't be the only one who has to respond. It's not your job. It's actually no one's job, but it surprises me that no one is willing to offer answers to something that is one of the most common things that a table mechanic has to do. I don't expect an answer at this...

Okay. So nearly 800 views into this thread and being a non-mechanic in the "talk to a mechanic" forum, I now know that each leg of a Gold Crown needs to support 275 lbs. Thanks, everyone!

I couldn't see the pics, but it's interesting that the table plays fine and you say the feet would just drop out of the legs if lifted. I guess the wood portion where the sleeve screws into the leg gives enough support to carry the weight of the table without any other support. I'm guessing that...

Fastone371, I also forgot to ask you if the threaded sleeves inside the legs were tightly screwed in or had give to them. Thanks.

Thanks. Do you know how far the threaded rod was into the leg before you started? Was it way up against the wood stop in the leg?

I appreciate that he offered his number. I know he's one of the top table mechanics in the country. But there's a reason I'm not taking him up on his offer. This is a public forum, and calling people privately defeats the purpose. I asked what should be simple questions for the many...

So far about 400 views and no answers. For such a popular table, I would have thought these were no-brainer questions.

I figured it might be useful to actually have these answers on the forum for future users. I'm not setting up the table myself. I'm having a pro do it, but I'm really curious since the old service manuals I've seen don't go into detail.

This may be obvious to some, but I'm curious how the leg leveling is supposed to happen. I have a late Gold Crown I. There is a bolt without ends, a nut, the threaded foot, and a threaded sleeve that is screwed into the legs with a single screw. 1) The single screws for each threaded leg sleeve...
