Vintage/Antique Brunswick Billiards Mid Century Modern 9' Anniversary Pool Table | eBay
Made in 1945 and improved over the next several years until the late 50's. The Anniversary table is highly sought after by designers because of the mid century modern appeal of the ART DECO features it possesses.www.ebay.com
The guy selling it is a crook too
I can SECOND this one JC!
I hear what you're saying, but this really is off topic to this thread, and that table was only mentioned as an example of what Coco wishes he had room for, not that he was asking about buying it
Damn tough to beat a good gold crown. If I had one, I probably wouldn't see the need to switch. I'll be looking soon, and the first good used one to come up, either be it a Gold Crown or Diamond, I don't think you can go wrong with either one.
I knew that guy was a POS long before I even heard of AZ billiards. But that's a whole other story.I can SECOND this one JC!
ATTENTION GUY I AM PISSED OFF AT FOR MANY REASONS: RKC, you even know this guys been tied up in FRAUD more than once..... I watch and lurk on topics like this these days and keep my options out of it, until I have something to contribute. This guy is not as bad as another recent restoration "expert" who defrauded a certain AZB member whom I shall not name, and bought that piece of shit black centennial back from him...<<< notice how professionally I did that
but that certain AZB member still got F u C ked over and lost almost $2k on the deal!!! alll of the pain he went through and still does not have a table yet.....
That's a very good endorsement for Diamonds. They are not easy. What serious player wants easy?
Of course. You can do pretty much anything with enough time, effort and money. I was speaking in terms of what is readily available.
I'm not going pro for baseball either, but when I go to the batting cages I still go in the "fast" cage and not the slow or medium one. So, why would I not want the "tough" table.
Sure, just hire your local table mechanic, and tell him you want your GC to play like a Diamond, then see how tough it plays!!!
Scott Frost played Tony Chohan in a long 1P race on a Red Label Diamond at Paradise Billiards in Lake Worth, FL that was redone with Superspeeds. Table plays real good with 4 1/8 corners. Most Red labels play so bad that anything is an improvementSure, just hire your local table mechanic, and tell him you want your GC to play like a Diamond, then see how tough it plays!!!
I get requests all the time to rebuild GC's to play like Diamonds, but NEVER to make a Diamond play like a GC, wonder why that is
I hear that, only problem is playing rotation instead of one pocket, will expose more of how the table plays overall.Scott Frost played Tony Chohan in a long 1P race on a Red Label Diamond at Paradise Billiards in Lake Worth, FL that was redone with Superspeeds.

Hey Glenn, What would be your choice for a GC to make play like a Diamond. Any GC's to absolutely stay away from?? Which is the best GC in your opinion?Sure, just hire your local table mechanic, and tell him you want your GC to play like a Diamond, then see how tough it plays!!!

The basic design of the GC's are pretty much the same from the 1-6 with just cosmetic changes and design upgrades. If rebuilt with today's advances in designs, any GC can be built to maximize the play of the table to match the play of any other top tier tables of today. Maximum playability of a pool table needs a basic foundation to start with, then rebuilt upon that structure.
Thanks for the info. Now, which GC's were actually made in USA?
