1. are they available in the quality of years ago
2. i have these on my table now, dont think they need replacing but wondering if i can buy superspeed monarch rubber like was made by brunswick in the early part of the 19th century.
3. my current question: i peeled back all the cloth to see what shape my cushions were in. generally speaking they played well, good rebound, and angles looked true. after pulling back the cloth i then discovered the cushions were likely the original 1926 rubber. what concerns me is presence of a extremely powdery dust coating the surface of the cushion. it almost looks like gold/tan chalk dust but this table has green simonis. there is no green chalk dust, just goldish dust and i cant say for sure that it is chalk dust. now the cushions seem pliable, no cracking or pitting anywhere. four look a bit faded while the other two are very nicely pinkish/red color. a ball bounces easily off the nose when cupped in my palm and dropped onto the nose of the cushion from about 3 inches up. my concern is that i can wipe down these cushions with just a damp rag. then reglue the bottoms as they are loose in a few spots.
4. any other ideas or advice to be aware of.
