Hi folks,

I posted this in Wanted/For Sale my mistake earlier....sorry.

I'm looking for information on the Brunswick Gold Crown 6100 series table? Apparently it was manufactured around 1960 or so.

I have one in my sights and need information on what to look for. The table is dissassembled at the moment.

Thanks
 
You should make very sure that the table doesn't have any fractures in the slate. Check around the rail bolt holes first. GC 1 tables had the worst so called slate I have ever seen. I had a container of slate made in ITALY to replace a bunch of crap slate with GC tables I purchased some time ago. OH and also I called them super crowns. They are 1.5 inch dowled slate to my spec for shelf and radious with better frame screw locations also. They were all dead nuts exept for 3 sets which they ate and didn't like it.

I think you have to also spec out your own slate if you want to be a MASTER.

Hmmm, guess you weren't aware that the GC1' & 2's didn't have real slates in them...LOL;)

I know they called it Brunstone and my friend in Boston and I talk about it all the time and have for years, thats why I called it " so called". I do know that. Do you know how they made it?

How it's made is pretty much beside the point, I've replaced plenty of it myself. Brunstone was the first of it's kind for Brunswick, but not the last, ever run across the "Slate" that looks like a blue wax candle on the surface, what was it called? It followed the Brunstone.
