A post concerning cushions for Gold Crown IIIs mentions 1st vs 2nd production run. https://forums.azbilliards.com/showpost.php?p=3412096&postcount=23 "Yes, but the GC3 has to be the second production, the early GC3's came out with the early Superspeed cushions that replace the Monarch...

the GC III I have has the GC IV type frame where the long side frame sections don't extend the full length of the table. It does not have the angle irons added to better support the short head and tail frame pieces yet and I am considering that. My question is, there are no triangular...

Given the current pandemic, I am thinking of trying to install and level the GC3 I trailered here to KCMO myself. Not my preferred solution. I got the frame down to the lower level and assembled and leveled it. Just need to work up the courage to hand truck the three slate slabs down stairs...

I am missing a part on a GC III that I just acquired. I am curious what the correct part name is. It is a captured steel plate bored and tapped for a 1/2 bolt housed in a mortice in the size rail. There is a block of wood in the other three mortices that captures the steel plate. One mortice...

One more question on this GC3 I just picked up. Again, I will be using a setup guy in KCMO to set the slate and level etc but I want to be sure that I have all the fasteners I need and that there is nothing too screwy with the table. Id rather not pay him to be running to the hardware store...

I picked up a GC3 last weekend already disassembled. So I literally had a "bucket" or hardware (bolts and nuts and washers). I am having the table setup but I want to be reasonably sure I have all of what he will need so I have been going through the process of figuring out the install. It...

I am building some A Frames to transport the slate for a GC III. I saw somewhere here the dimensions for the slabs of slate for the Gold Crown but damned if I can find it now. Any one know the length and width of each piece? Thanks much.

I checked the directory and didn't see many options for the KCMO area. New resident and in the process of looking for a gold crown to buy. I wanted to see what options I had to hire a pro to set the table up when I get it. There is one table guy in the area named Steven Stokes. Good...

I am looking at three Gold Crowns. None of the owners know which GC model they have. But all three toss the term diamonize around. (Is it diamonize or diamondize?) I searched through the forum here looking for what the term diamonize actually is supposed to mean. I didn't find much detail...

Were there 9' brunswick tables that looked like gold crowns but really weren't? Pics were not good enough to know for sure but... kinda looks like a GC.

New to the area and am looking at used Gold Crowns for my house and will be needing a good setup. Nothing in the directory for the area. Anyone know a mechanic they could recommend? Thanks much.

Posting on behalf of member rbdl as he is having problems getting his password reset on AZB. Is there a thread on azb for this type of post other than the main forum? Didn't see one that was obvious From Rob Dulays (rbdl) Facebook post. "BUYER BEWARE!!! His name is Jeff Mann from...

I picked up a Deickman last week that has three shafts. One of them looks unplayed (tip looks played but the shaft is super clean) and is very tight threading into the butt (thread is on the shaft in case it was not obvious.) Thread measures the same for both shafts with a caliper. The...

Leave it to me to be a day late and a dollar short. I had referenced the tuzul club site a while ago but it was way beyond where I was at. I went back recently to check it out more closely and to my surprise it looks like all the instructional content is gone. What a bummer. TWC

My pool room for the last 6 years Quentin Corner Pockets in Palatine, Il is closing down. I need a new place to practice. I live in Mount Prospect. Any suggestions in the N/W Chicago burbs. I know about Rackem Up in Buffalo Grove. Chris's on Milwaukee is great but a PITA to get to during...

I prefer harder tips when playing pool, Sumo is my favorite there although looks like they are impossible to get now. For a carom cue for 3C I feel like I need a softer tip. Not sure what is on either of my two carom cues. One is really soft (Mariposa) and the other is very hard (Viguera)...

I'm not talking about Kilbys site, caromcues.com. caromcue.com has a pretty good price on Aramith Carom balls and wondered if anyone has purchased from them in the past. Didn't find ratings or comments via google. Thanks

Anyone have any good handicap systems they know up for 3C given both players have a known lifetime average points per inning? Or do most of them work off a player "rating" instead of the APPI? Also, do folks track their lifetime APPI or do you cut it off and start fresh every now and then...

I have a Viguera Cue that I like but it only has a pool taper shaft. The cue has a wood joint screw. I would like to get a carom shaft make for it. There is a Viguera carom shaft available but the wrinkle is that the cue I have has the screw in the butt, not the shaft so this carom shaft...

I am hopefully having a carom shaft made for my Viguerra butt and I am trying to decide on the tip diameter to go with. One suggestion I got was 11.5 mm. Is that too narrow for a rank beginner at 3C? My Mariposa has a12mm. I am not sure if it is the tip diameter on that one that bothers me...
