    Are Gold Crowns Still Being "Diamondized?"

    Somewhere in this thread, a person asked if Diamondizing a Gold Crown would make the GC play better. In my experience, the answer is yes. Fourteen or fifteen years ago, there was a thread to that effect. A guy named RealKingCobra, who was, and may still be, a well-known table mechanic, discussed...

    Identifying old Brunswick cloth

    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...

    Brunswick Pool Table

    I got in touch with the guy in Missouri. He says the table is a Brunswick. If that's the case, it is a GC 3 with the black rail caps.

    Brunswick Pool Table

    A Gold Crown 3, looked to be about 30 years old, sold on Facebook Marketplace in Dallas a couple days ago for $500.00. I couldn't get the guy to answer and now it is marked sold. Right now, a dude named Asa Hovis has a table for $500.00 on Marketplace that looks like it may be a Black Gold...

    Recent Simonis 860 install by a table mechanic........Really?

    Nice work, Geoff. And I stand corrected. What I should have said is that I, using the technique in the Simonis videos and following the instruction I learned here, have never been able to install Simonis without v-cuts showing unless I use the shirt collar trim. My apologies for my poor...

    Recent Simonis 860 install by a table mechanic........Really?

    All tables with wooden slate liners have the V cuts in the cloth at the pockets. The purpose of the "shirt collar trim" at the pockets is to cover the part of the V that is visible. If you find someone that knows how to make the shirt collar trim, he will be able to make your pockets look...

    Wrinkles in my Simonis

    Simonis relaxes when it gets wet. I spray about a pint or more of distilled water on mine a couple times a year and then lightly scrub in one direction. The local water is loaded with minerals and calcium deposits so it would not be suitable to spray on a dark fabric. The cloth get noticeably...

    Gold Crown 5 Pocket liners

    I thought about using a hairdryer actually. I just wasn’t sure if it would be a permanent solution. I don’t want to use a nail. Sent from my iPhone using AzBilliards Forums I just set up a GC1 that I had in storage for five years. It was very hot in the storage facility here in Texas...
