A friend of mine has a mid-90's Brunswick Mission. He bought it new from a well-known dealer in Dallas, probably Billiards and Barstools. The original cloth has lasted thru 3 moves over the years, but now has enough wear to need replacing. He wants the same cloth, but my experience is limited...

SOLD-----Very pristine 9 foot Brunswick Sport King. Great pinned slate. Still in original paint color scheme. All metal is bright. It's disassembled and been in a weather tight storage container for 10 or 12 years. The rails are in great condition with no scratches or chips. This is without...

Does anyone know or have a pretty good idea of what year the GC1s changed from the full length rail extrusion to a series of six inch extrusions? Thanks for any info. jfred

Did someone post on here not long ago, that a K66 measures 2 inches from the cushion nose to the point where the cloth exits the feather strip and K55 measures 2 1/8? I have tried to find that post, but can't. So pardon me if the topic has been discussed before. Thanks. jfe

What cushion profile did Brunswick use on their home tables in the 1990's? Thanks for any info.

Does anyone know for sure when 8 foot Pro tables were offered in the Gold Crown 1 series? I see in Brunswick's archives that the 1961 catalog showed 44 x 88 and 50 x 100. I do know with some certainty that my OS-8 was present in the original owner's house in 1967, but the source of that info...

We may relocate to Tyler. :D Does anyone know anything about the pool halls there? Thanks for any info. jfe

In Stan's video, Landon is shooting cuts to the right at elapsed time 22:35 and 22:54. In the first cut, from position 23/15, he calls for a manual RIGHT pivot. In the second cut to the right, from position 31/23, he calls for a manual LEFT pivot. I'm confused. Both are cuts to the right...

Gentlemen, With the exception of the rail counters and Brunswick badges, are Sport King and Anniversary rails and rail castings identical? From photos, I see that everything below the bottom edge of the rail is obviously different, but the topsides of both tables look remarkably similar...

Gentlemen, What cushion was used on the Sport Kings, and is there a modern equivalent? Thanks for any info. Joe

I'm looking to build up a stock of GC parts. What other tables, Brunswick or otherwise, use the same castings, pockets, and rails as Gold Crowns 1,2, and 3? Any help would be appreciated. Joe

I just received my autographed copy of Jimmy Reid's DVD/CD training package. He is currently offering the set on Ebay for $49.95 plus shipping. That's the best money I've spent on pool stuff in a long while! Thank you, Jimmy! :thumbup: jfe

Hello to all. Recently, I acquired a very nice Gold Crown I table. The gentleman I got it from knows its history back to the mid sixties, when the second owner got it. He thinks this ball set may be the original that came with the table, and possibly dates back to 1961-1965. Can any of you...

As usual, I was in a hurry to refinish a counter face plate. Instead of posting here and asking how to disassemble the counter, I just tried to mask it off. After ruining a couple of the number wheels, I discovered I had a punch that was the perfect size to push the wheel axle out of the...

Gentlemen, I just picked up an old GC II or III. The rail counters sit proud of the rail. There is a gap between the top of the rail and the counter rim about the width of a nickel. I can push the counter housing down into it's proper place, but it springs back up immediately. The table is...

Can anyone tell me what process the big table manufacturers use to cut the precise angles and bevels for factory installed cushions? Don't mean to step on any toes here, so if that info is a trade secret, then I will certainly understand. Otherwise, thanks for any help. jfe

Hi, All. I have to replace the cushions on a nine foot GC III I just bought. The choices are narrowed down to Championship Tour Edition or Black Diamond. I know many players like Artemis and SuperSpeed, but right now, I want to go with either the Tours or the Diamonds. I've got a good...

Hello Everyone. For the past year, I have been learning all I can about working on pool tables. I'm retired and have plenty of time and tools, plus a couple of tables. As you can imagine....I'm a happy guy! :D I don't have any intention of getting in the business, just enjoy trying to keep...

Recently, I have seen the term "calibrated" used in relation to table setup. What, exactly, does that mean? Thanks for any response. Joe

I just saw on the Dallas craigslist, a bar is closing in the area. They are offering some Diamond tables for sale. They are located about fifty miles northeast of Dallas. If interested, go to craigslist, do a search for Diamond pool table. Right now, (Monday, noon) the add is still close to...
