Which Gold Crown?

GrayBeard · Oct 27, 2016

From both a mechanic's and a player's point of view, which Gold Crown table (1, 2, 3 or 4) would you choose? (Or recommend to a friend.)
Assuming a table in good condition and with original components, that is.

I've seen all kinds of opinions about Gold Crowns, but am curious what the people who work on the tables would
choose if choosing for themselves.

GC4 for sure

I prefer the GC4 of all of the GC's.... Flush corner and side pocket castings, flush rubber pockets, internal leveling system in the frame for each slate. no name plate or counters. still looks like the older ones. plays awesome. just my 2 cents

Table

I'd go with GC4 with a few modifications that all GCs desire.

GC4 from a players perspective

Why not the GCV?
Does the GCIV use the same leveling system (shims) as a GCI or something similar to a GCV?
The GCV is the GC with built in leveling system, correct? Speaking of the newer multi point slate leveling systems a person cant really adjust the slate levelers on multi piece slate beds too much without risking cracking at the seams, correct?

The 4's have the levelers built into the frame. I personally do not care for the look of the 5's. The leveling system appears to be the same as the 4's from the manual below. I have not had a chance to work on a 5 as of yet and plenty of experience with 4's. The cost is also a HUGE difference.
