It's an AMF commercial model; unsure of the actual model name or vintage. I would guesstimate '40's or '50's; similar in design to a Brunswick Sport King or Anniversary. I had threaded inserts installed for the casting and skirt mounts and modified the castings and side rails (at side pockets) to accept Gold Crown drop pockets; Artemis rubber with subrails extended to accommodate and 4" sides, 4.875" sides. The shelves are shallow so it plays tight but fair. As Kerry pointed out, I built a custom light to match.

Did you mean to say 4" corners and 4.875 sides? If so, that's a very tight table, no?

My understanding is that Gold Crowns came with 4 7/8" corners and 5 5/8" sides. Yours are nearly an inch tighter!

Yessir. Thank you for catching my type-o. I've edited the post accordingly.

It plays tight but fair.

What's the Table Difficulty Factor on that puppy? I had a 4.25" corner gold crown and it played tough after the cloth broke in.

Did you get it on Dr. Dave's TDF list?

No problem.

They're not bad. I've played on tighter.

I seriously considered doing this about 12 years ago, and now wish I had! I bought what I think is a very nice Gold Crown I, which had been done-over when the previous owner got it about five years ago. New pocket castings, new feet, new pockets. rail tops are in really nice condition. It's a ball return table. Gray Simonis 860. It's hard to tell in this pic, but the aprons have been painted gray. Only things missing were the ball return box trim and the triangle holder, which I have since acquired form Classic Billiards.

A current pic of mine. Just need to get my prop blade mounted above Wrigley Field and it will be done. Well...I don’t know if we ever really get done with these projects.

Very nice indeed! Mark Gregory says the GC V is the best Brunswick ever produced. I think he helped them make the improvements, so it probably is the best.
