Hello All, I need a little input and advice. I've been looking for a used GC in a 9 foot, but not having very much luck. I found a Brunswick Century in a 9 foot, I would like to hear some opinions of the difference between it and the GC's. Is the frame constructed the same way? Pro' and Con's? The century is in very, very good shape, and I can get it for $500 I think. So everyone that knows these tables please give me some input.
Thanks in Advance.....:grin-square:

My advice is "Don't buy it."

This is important. Are you in the southeast?

There are parts of the country where rehab-able Gold Crowns are not on every street corner, and this is often overlooked by those who are fortunate enough to live where they are. I personally lay blame at the feet of Roy Gandy, but the southeast is definitely one such area.

Back to the OP's original question, I believe the Century was a precursor to the Centurion but seems to get more respect than the Centurion. As far as being a similar frame to the GC, I doubt it but don't know for sure. You may have a hard time here getting an answer even from those who know, because the stock answer to any "what table should I get" question is always going to be "get a Gold Crown", or "save up for a Diamond". No other tables are acceptable or will even allow a ball to roll.

Century should not be mentioned when talking about Gold Crowns...uh, I just did...:o
Centuries are off-shore products made FOR Brunswick...light as a feather.
