After countless hours of reading information (thanks to RKC and others) I am now putting together a shopping list of items that I need to update the playing surface on a 9' Brunswick Regina.

I've got everything (that I can think of) but the cushions. Without dissasembling the table and then making an educated guess. Where can I find information on the style of cushion that this table requires.

Based on internet info the guess at the moment is K-55.


I know I'm going to get at least 4 pm's/offers from people needing work, and those are tempting btw. I really want to do this myself and all helpfull information is and will be appreciated.
 
I have a regina also.

I need to have the pockets fixed on my 10 foot Regina. I have leather pieces stuck in the back of the pocket and no fringe. My question is "will I have to send the irons and the boots together.?" Are your pockets intact. Could you send a picture of a intact pocket. Thanks Jeff P.S. K-55 is excellant rubber, maybe better than the original. My regina is very old but a table guy had a rubber gauge and said mine were in good condition.
 
My pockets are as you described and the leather in the back has the uncanny ability to kick a dead center shot back out on the table. :(

The pockets I have, the fringe is a rather plain leather piece. Sorry for the lack of help. More than happy to attach photo's though..


These two photo's were taken before the table was moved from my Grandfathers home. (oh, and for the record. He LOVED that carpet. :eek:)






These next two aren't that helpful. However, you can see that the fringe just tucked under the rails.





the leather piece in the back of the pocket... I had planned to deal with that when I came to it.
 
The conventional wisdom says Bwick uses K55 however this is not always the case (see pic).
Take a few measurements first - nose height and cushion to cushion distance.
If these jive with 1 7/16" nose height and 50" X 100" playfield then the table should have the correct cushions.
Since you are replacing the cushions - unwrap one of the rails and determine the cushion profile you need to get.

They were not K55, K66, U23, P37 or Century
