Would the Pro Cup measle ball match the crown standard set specs?

Thanks, k2craze. Yes, you're the one I saw who had special testing equipment mentioning that they were consistent from ball to ball. So as long as they play well, I think I'll start off on my new table with the crown standards. If they get damaged I'll think about another set later on. And...

I just foresee kids launching balls off the table and possibly chipping a nice set of balls.

I'm going to have new Simonis 860 HR cloth put on my table, and I don't want to get a set of balls that reduces the life of the cloth. I want to go with one of the Aramith (or Centennial) options, but for some reason the Crown Standard isn't listed on the Saluc website. It is supposedly phenolic...

Thanks. Yes, I know Pat would be great, but he's kind of far from me and Ed is local. I've been in Ed's shop and I like the guy. I just wanted to make sure he does good work. According to people messaging me he does. So it just makes sense to support my local shop.

Ah. I had thought they were terms being used by different people for the same thing. Thanks for explaining.

Thanks. I'm sure there are other mechanics that service the area, but I'm really just curious about Lanza at this point, since he's very local to me and I'd like to support him if he does good work. I got a couple of PM's that make me comfortable going with him now.

Yeah, compared to the Gandy Big G that I handled, the parts from the Gold Crown are heavier and more substantial.

No problem, JC. I'm sure it'll be just what I need.

By the way, I'm not sure what a skirt is as opposed to an apron?

Thanks, Pat and xianmacx. rickdee, I'm actually out of state for a couple of weeks, so I don't have the hardware in front of me, but I know that there were no plastic parts anywhere. When I Googled "anchor straps", the following Gold Crown service manual popped up, so I can see the parts of the...

Bumping just once to see if anyone has any info. I see that his family has been in the business designing and installing tables for about a century, so I'll assume that his work is good, but if anyone wants to share their experience, please post or PM me. Thanks!

Thanks! Actually, according to Pat it's a late GC I.

Thanks for posting, JC. I'm looking forward to putting your work to the test. I'm sure it'll be great. If they're the proper nose height and new rubber, and they were glued on properly, how can they be bad, right?

Do you know about what year this late gc I would have been made?

Do you mean those fins that look like find from a car from the fifties? I don't have those with the table. What are anchor straps?

Thanks! A couple of questions. I read somewhere on a thread that acrylic paint shouldn't be used. Only oil based? Also, do I just use a paint roller? And if I want to use other colors than traditional will that effect resale value do you think?

Okay, thanks Pat.

Besides the leg levelers, it was described to me that the rails having captive nuts in them suggest a GC II

Okay. Can you tell me more?
