    Restoring a Canadian Gold Crown 1

    Cutting the Laminate. Notice the clamped ruler, this is so the Laminate doesn't slide through when cutting. I'm using Hi strength 3m 90. I've used this since the very beginning a few years ago. Once applied the only way to remove the Laminate is to heat it using a heat gun. Notice how the...

    Restoring a Canadian Gold Crown 1

    At this stage I've duct taped the rubbers to the rails to make sure that I've got everything correct. The playing area is now 50 inches - 100 inches. Just checking the rail sights with a jig I made a few tables ago. Notice that the line at the top lines up with the line below and the sight...

    Restoring a Canadian Gold Crown 1

    This table has only ever had a couple of reclothes so it's a bit of a find. The Laminate was in really good condition. But it did have a couple of dents here and there so I decided to rip it off. Surprisingly I was able to get under the Laminate and with a bit of force simply tear it off. No...

    Gold Crown 1 rehab. Lots of questions...

    It blows my mind that someone can't figure out where exactly the slate should be when setting up the slate to the frame. 😁

    Brunswick Gold Crown 2 was not leveled correctly.

    Personally I would dissemble the table down to frame. That way any slate leveling adjustments would be minimal. Also how is it not level. Is it the slate joins, or a roll on the table. Cheers Gaz 😁

    Gold crown 1 ball return box install questions

    If you look at the pic below where the yellow line is is a countersunk bolt. It goes into the slate frame with a piece of timber taking up the space between the panel and the frame similar to what someone has tried to do with your table. When done correctly it provides excellent support. Expand...
