Mnay here are far more knowledgable, I defer to them should I be off base. Not quite sure GC I came with adjustable feet. The Brunstone question is adressed above. Unless changed out, my research suggests the GC I had the 1 1/4" pinned and doweled Brunstone. (Although it is possible, based on...

"Celebrity" table info I am uncertain if the Celebrity is/was the only model that featured the "levelite bed. It is quite possible they tried it in other lower end models. 8 Home options (44" x 88" Playfield) ------------------------------------+----------------------------------- Slate...

Yes, that as well as the color and the backer boards. I've never seen Brunstone, however from readings here it appears to have a brown/rust color hue.

Brunswick produced a 2 1/2" thick one piece honeycomb bed on their "Celebrity" model. They called it "levelite". Production ran from 1965 - to early 70's. I have info from Brunswick if you would like more details.

I had this discussion with RKC. I have 1" pinned and doweled slate on my GC III. The rails (with larger counters and flat bar casting attachment) are from a CG II. It was explained by Glen and others, Brunswick would use leftover parts near the end of a production run on a newer model. Glen...

I too was intrigued by Craigs post since I am in the process of a GC III refinish. I called Brunswick and spoke with Marvin E, Brunswick does not actually do the refinishing. He referred me to the company that does the GC castings, Al's Polishing in Toledo, OH - 419-476-8857 ask for Rick. I...

I would agree. Whether golf, tennis, pool or any hand /eye activity, conscious thought process can get in the way of execution.

Did you do all the rails? Contact adhesive? Good Luck.

Servicky, When you peeled back top layer another layer was under it, was that also a laminate material? Or is it possible it was the backing from the top piece of laminate that had seperated? Just curious.

I've thought of it often, never attempted. Consider using real wood veneer, the time and energy in labor is the same (actually veneer may be a bit easier to work) so why not have a real wood finish. Sealed and finished properly should work well. IMO. I've recovered many drums with veneer if you...

Just a thought. Wonder why Brunswick saw fit to place ashtrays in the corner castings of some GC's?

A noble one indeed. However I don't believe one can expect the pro's to to freely dole out "secrets". This is their income source. I've read this forum for several years, only recently posting. I've found many valuable hints and tips. Opinions are offered freely, step by step manuals and...

Hope this is the appropriate forum. Wondering what the pro mechanics think about this cloth. You handle more cloth in a month than I in a lifetime. They claim it is 100% worsted. Advantages or disadvatage? tia.

Glen, Upon closer inspection this morning (it was late last night when I checked)I put a tri square on pocket shelf, no slope as I originally thought. Almost perfect 90.

Thanks again Glen, you are correct the pocket shelves have a slope to them and rail skirts bolt. However the slate backing is 3/4" (poplar my guess) and the slate is a hair over 1" maybe 1/32", I thought the brunstone was much thicker. Anyway, thanks again I appreciate and value your opinion.

Poking around the site (via search) for last hour leads me to believe I may have CG II rails and castings (larger counters also) with III rosewood aprons. Meatal name plate and tag on stretcher say III. Glen, maybe a 2.5?

Thanks all. Glen, The casting bolt insert is in end of rail, however not like this: mine threads into an angled piece of flat iron with threads cut, it is about 1 1/2" wide and an 1/8 thick. It bends around rail end, two bolts on top one on bottom secure it. Don't believe it's brunstone. It is...

Began disassembly of my table in prep for refinish. I discovered the slate is pinned, I seem to recall reading here that was typical of the I and II and discontinued on the III. Correct? Could I have leftover II slate?
