Wow good video. It’s always special to see a master at his work. You have a great, yet simple system in place. The devil is in the details. I’m happy you showed every step of the process without any of the other typical bs you seen on YouTube. Thanks for being willing to share.

They look fantastic. Thanks for the info.

How does everyone feel about the Gold Crown V table? I've been searching the web for reviews but most posts are about the GC I-IV. For the past year I've been looking for a Gold Crown pool table but I'm tired of waiting. I've only seen two pop up in my large search area: a IV that was in rough...

what steps did you take to get them shiny like that?

Practically speaking it seems like it’s not worth converting a snooker table into a pool table. It’s major surgery and only a true specialist can get it right. I clearly don’t have a lot of experience, but how differently does 8-ball play on a snooker table (vs a pool table)? I ended up...

I know now! It was in good condition and I ended up picking it up for $300. I severely underestimated the work that would be required to convert it into a pool table after reading your post here. I originally thought just the subrails and rubbers would need to be redone. Do people do the...

Good eye, I’m here for things like this that I would miss! That’s quite the price to convert. I wanted a pool table but at this point I’ll take any gold crown to bang around some balls. If the rubber needs replacing I’ll go down the route of converting the rails.

I’ve had a lot of help (wisdom) from this forum and I’m back again. I came across this table which is 4 hours away so I can’t go and inspect it easily. The seller is an older couple who just want it gone basically. They think it’s a GC1, 5x9 slate table, 30-40 years old. I’ve attached pictures...

I’m looking for a Gold Crown and recently came across a GC3 with shimmed pockets. The shimming material seemed very hard when compared to the rubber. I felt like it would create a lot of rattling? but I’ve never played with shimmed pockets. Other than that the table and cloth looked to be in...

I also believe the GC III wood is stained “rosewood” while the GC IV is stained “mahogany.” Thanks everyone with their help. I’ve lost faith in this dealer; whether he’s just ignorant or tried to pull a fast one. He also said he replaced the rubbers and put on new cloth; which I now don’t trust...

I’ve been looking for a Gold Crown and recently contacted a dealer who said he had two Gold Crown IVs. He sent me the attached pictures but I don’t think it’s a IV. I just wanted to confirm with you guys before I let him know.

Did he end up selling it?

I’m also looking for a gold crown but in Ontario Canada. Why did the leave out the Gold Crown IV in your search?

Bump

Looking either one of these tables. Send a PM. Thanks!

Looking for ideally a Gold Crown IV in decent condition. But interested in any Gold Crown or Diamond Table in Ontario.

https://mrbilliard.com/ I’m based in Toronto/GTA area. I tried asking around for a trusted table mechanic but came up short. The one guy (Paul Clutterback) who was mentioned a couple times is retired. I’m open to alternatives. Maybe I’ll have another look.

Thanks for the heads up. Does the fuller picture make more sense? They quoted me $760 to relocate and install the table (1.5 hour drive) $298 for the rubbers $440 labour for the rubbers (3 working days offsite) $519 for the 3030 cloth (I assumed that includes install) I’m not to familiar how...

Okay thanks for the heads up. I’ll do some more digging. What colour did you end up going with? I’m leaning towards electric blue (vs euro blue) as I think it’s similar to Simonis tournament blue.

I'm getting into pool and buying my first table (Gold Crown IV) and getting new rubbers (Brunswick Superspeed) and felt put on it. I was hoping to get the Simonis 860 but the shop I'm working with reached out to their wholesaler who said they have "nothing in Simonis at all until maybe early...
