I purchased fiberglass trim skirts for my gold crown 1 table but I need to fabricate the metal straps that connect the skirt to the table. Have you folks done this and if so what have you used. Thank you, Allen

I was not sure if my 9' gold crown was fast or slow. It has been so long since I played in leagues just my own table so I set up sort of a stint meter (golf putting green) speed test. I set two cues on the rail and set the cue tips on the head ball spot rested the shafts on the rail (had to hold...

OK so it is time to try a ob classic shaft but what butt to I want to marry it to my joss 5/16X14 or I have a couple of Mcdermott cues. I guess what I am asking is will the joints used by these two manufacturers matter as far as the hit goes?

Well I finally finished my Gold Crown I do it yourself table re-cloth and rail cushions so I thought I would give my post project review. If you have a table at home and thought you might want to undertake this project these comments might help. First this is not easy to get right and mine is...

Well I am in the middle of the recover project and the last person did a real hack job. They used both glue, (that had come loose) and staples and even nails to hold the cushions on. Here is the question how do you pros remove the old contact cement I have been using a razor and it is so time...

On my Gold Crown 1 table my drop pockets have the following information. CIN-CARO Mfg Co DENVER COLO. they also have a letter C an inch above the manufacturer name Are they original to my table?

When I see finished pockets on gold crowns I see what looks to be a 1/2" cloth strip on the bottom edge of the pocket. This strip is no doubt used to hide the relief cuts. Is this necessary? can you stretch the cloth enough to staple the relief tabs under the pocket so it looks clean without the...

I own a gc1 table and read a few posts on different cushions on this site. Looks like I might go with Brunswick superspeed or maybe this diamond k55. I did see this add online the price looks low even cheaper then the superspeed. Do you have any input on the two. My table probably has the...

How does one know when the rails cushion rubber needs replacing. I have a gold crown 1 and it may have the original rubber. They seem to be uniform in bounce. The only reason I ask is I have purchased cloth and will be redoing the rails and while I am at it I might change the cushions but I am...

I have looked and looked but was unable to find anything on this. Is it possible to do the pockets on a table (gold crown 1) without making relief cuts in the cloth? Thanks for your input.

Hello, I have a nice older 1970's Joss cue with two shafts ivory ferrules. thought I might want to pick up a another shaft and see some out on ebay for 20 bucks. sounds really cheep. has anyone purchased any of these 20 dollar shafts from ebay and are they any good or just junk. whats the...

Is it worth it to by pool ball cleaning products? Can I just use something I might have around the house like Windex? If I must buy a product what do you guys like?

Hello, when I assembled my gold crown 1 i have everything looking great except my side pockets do not sit flush on the top of the aluminum. seams to be hitting under the front of the pocket. should I shave off a little rubber from the top front of the pocket. I did make sure I have the proper...

I purchased an gold crown 1 and it came with cloth that is a little dirty and has some wax on it probably from candles but no holes and looks fairly good. I did purchase new cloth but was going to install the cloth that came with the table for the first year until I can get the grand kids used...

quick question for you professionals. I have a nice bostich staple gun that can shoot just about any size staple. It has a 1/2" crown. what length staple do you folks shoot? 1/2, 3/8, 1/4 I really could not think of a reason that would make a difference in the install of the cloth but the...

Getting close to putting it all together. All painted, polished, cloth, now is when the rubber hits the road. Once I get the base centered in the room I'll place and bolt down the superstructure that sits between the slate and the base. I will then level the base before adding the slate. I am...

I'm getting ready to install new cloth on my GC1 table. I watched a youtube video on someone installing new simonis cloth on a diamond table only using contact cement. Knowing each time we use staples we damage the wood is glue the better new approach over the old staple method? Note they did...

I see all kinds of different posts with information about facings but thought I might cut to the chase and ask the professional mechanics. What is the best material to use for cushion facings and who sells them. for k55 Gc1 cushions. Thank you, Allen

can you polish the Formica on Gold Crown rails? I have only used pledge and paste was but was wondering if I could take a buffer with a compound to it. I wonder if the fine scratched would buff out? Or would I wreck it? Anyone ever tried it?

Hello I purchased a gold crown 1 and noticed the slate has 1955 hand written on the wood supports. Did Brunswick have slate that old laying around or is the 1955 not a date. The table is complete very little staple scars so I might assume it was in private ownership as a pool hall would of put...
