The GC3 black high tec came out in the late 80's and was first offered on the GC3's. The rail laminate looked like shit if you let anyone get baby powder on them because it would stay in any scratches in the finish. We had the first ones up in Washington state at Nardo's Billiards in North Seattle that I knew of.
Black GCIII
Back around 1996-1997, I was remodeling Gaslamp Billard Palace in historic Gaslamp District in San Diego.
The nicest portion of that 37 table facility was the upstairs 'platinum room'.
I found 10 black gold crowns and also had 2 old centennials.
Custom carpet and lights ec. Everything trimmed in gloss black and polished aluminum.
What a neat room. I believe it is still there but now called 'Jolt n Joe' (after joe DiMaggio).
4th and J street. Next door to dick's last resort.

I have one the piano finish table was the hi tech model. It was only offered in the gold crown III. It has the raised pocket liners. They made a gold crown IIII with a matt finish and smooth pocket liners. My table is perfect like new. If was always in home use.
I wanted to thank you guys for all the pm's and help in my looking for a table. I was very happy with the pool hall that sold me a table. They drove about three hours to deliver and set up my table. My dad taught me to play and here he is having fun with my 3yr old son.

Centennial. It looks great and wears great.
It doesn't play that good. It's slippery if you know what I mean. It has Teflon in the cloth. Lots of skids on ball contact and you don't get as much ball throw. That messes with your cut angles when you play Simonis. I tend to under cut shots until I relearn how much more throw I need to allow for on Simonis.
I wish Simonis made a light gray color. You can see very well on it.
I will go back to Simonis when I can afford to change it out.
EDIT. I just checked the Simonis site and they DO now make more colors than when I got this cloth. I will be switching back to 760.
