Saw an ad for this and just wondered which model this is?
I don't really have room for a 9ft but for the price I may not be able to let this pass.
Thank you for the identification.
Looks in great shape, guys asking $750/bo.

The gold crown 1 and 2 are very similar. Both very well built. There will be dates on the underside of the feet. If the skate is pinned it is a 1. If it ever had the plastic aprons covering the ball returns its a 1. If it has non adjustable feet just wood screwed to pedestal,its a 1. Figure 8 style mounting plate on bottom of rail its a 1. Union made wood working stamps. Plastic nameplates on earliest ones.
Gold crown 2"s. have adjustable feet and they changed the rail mounting to up inside the rail with a floating plate. Same Slates as the 1's mostly Brunstone which came from PA and is brownish.
Under 1000 is good. Offer 500 and see. It is 500 or more for cloth and install. Make sure rubber isnt dead. It looks well cared for.

BUY IT....
at $750 you can afford any repairs/ upgrades and still have a GREAT PLAYING TABLE for way less than 3-5 k it would cost you to buy a diamond used
plus i like the way gold crowns play better.....:thumbup:
Just make sure it has had only one owner .
If it came from a pool hall, or several moves, I'd pass.

I think a GCI owned by a single person would be a very big stretch.

Looks like a II to me because of the pot metal corners .
1 had chrome iirc.
1 had deeper shelf but the nut plates on 2's are better imo.
IMHO a good deal....as long as it isn't a frankentable.
Sometimes when pool halls closed tables were disassembled and parts mixed up before they were sold.
A lot of old GCs came out of pool halls.
Anything can be fixed of course...but at what expense...
Table looks nice. Might be a great find. :smile:
Looks real nice to me, but so did my first wife.
.
One thing to consider with I and II's is they had Monarch cushions.
Replacing the cushions might need a little more work than just dropping in a SuperSpeed cushions.
