I like it's older brother, the 6 legger
I am curious as to what this table will turn out to be, I don't see how somebody could sell a Century as a Medalist, they don't look anything alike. Now as for pawning a Century off as a Centurion... LOL
We need pics!!!
Well it has a Badge on it that says BRUNSWICK MEDALIST. The other end has the Ball holder. The top is definetly a Medalist. It does appear that the legs have been modified.What kind of support does the medalist have underneath the table? I was looking at the GC's at our pool hall and WOW they look nothing alike underneath. You can see the slate on the Medalist and it appears that on the GC the you cannot see the slate. The Table was setup by professionals he claims and he seems like an honest guy. The slate is about 1.5 Inch and also there is no Partical board that goes underneath the slate. Is this normal? The slate has what looks like 1" x 1" boards glued to it. I am trying to describe what I saw as well as I can. There were also what looked like a deck of cards that shimmed the slate. I will add features if I remember any later.

I have seen with tables with water damage to the legs due to being in a basement that flooded, it could be what happened here and the owner or his mechanic didn't have the skills to make a set of panel legs for it. Does the finish on legs match the aprons?
Bring your tape measure too, as Brunswick GC's and Medalist didn't use slate 1 1/2" thick. The Medalist has a 1" thick slate, and you can see the slate under a GC, look under the center of the table. I don't care WHO set this table up, somethings wrong with this picture.plshrk22 said:

PS. Do you know how many billiards technicians call themselves professionals?...LOL

You don't use 1" X 1"'s for backer board??
Well maybe it was 1" as I used my finger tape measure. He is out of town until next week. The legs do not match the skirts identically. I think it is still a nice solid table as it played very well. The rails are not Super Speeds but they will do until I have the money to replace them. It has the just crome corners on the pockets, no Brunswick on them. The legs go up and bolt directly to the "Frame" of the table.
Well, the cushions are wrong as well then. They may not even be K55 profile. That GC4 in Spokane, WA for $1,500 is looking better by ever post to this thread...LOLplshrk22 said:

If you didn't buy it already I would definitely take a pass on this table, for one thing, you are paying almost as much as you could get a used gold crown for. Second, a medalist is nowhere near the table of a GC and the one you are looking at appears to have the structure severely weakened.
There is a big ass difference between 4 post legs and 2 panel legs with a stringer between them. Just my opinion of course.
No...that's a fact. I'm now concerned about the price I quoted you for setting that table up. If it's a bastard table...then I'm going to have to reconsider my offer...sorrymagnetardo said:

Well also keep in mind I have no idea what I am talking about with rails. I just said that as they dont seem as fast as super speeds. They may be.. The table seems very structurally sound. The only problem with that GC is that I only have $900 to spend on a table and then the rest is to Deliver and setup.

Which one is it?? Seriously keep your money in your pocket and wait until you come across a better deal, they are out there. A buddy of mine just picked up a real nice GC1 with a bunch of accesories for $950, I know where there is a good deal on an Anniversary but it's in IL delivery would prolly cost a little

How bad are you going to feel when you try to sell it and can't get half what you paid for it?
Look, this is why all of us billiards technicians talk back and forth here on AZ, and why we try and help those that don't know what's going on. It's better to keep you from getting the short end of a deal, than it is to come to your house...and tell you...you got screwed! I don't like bastard tables, or throw away tables, the only purpose for these tables...is for someone to make some money off some unsuspecting sucker. Take the table if it bothers you that you told someone you'd buy it, but keep in mind...it's NOT the table you were led to believe it was!magnetardo said:

Did you already pay for the table?
