Thinking about buying a table. There is a GC1 and GC4 for sale in my area. My question is, assuming both are in good condition and priced at 1500 for the 1 and 2000 for the 4, which one would you purchase? I did do some research and understand that the gc1 may have brunstone instead of slate and the gc4s have some sagging problems. Any input would be greatly appreciated!
 
Gold Crown I

I would buy the GC I and do some research in the Ask The Mechanic forum for the best mechanics to setup the table. There is a wealth of information available in that section.
 
Who is doing the table work for you?

Might want to let her (or him) decide which of your options is better.

I believe the 4 is preferred, but both are fine choices, in general.

No sagging on my GC4. 1500 is way too high for a GC1 unless it's been recalibrated and new cushions installed. Offer 1500 for the GC4, it's a better table imo
 
Thanks guys. I did do some research in the mechanic forum but couldn't find an answer as far as which is more preferred.

Might wanna search using google, or by resorting the forum by most replies?

There was a big thread, iirc.
 
2K for a mint GC is a good deal. Play a couple of racks on it and I'm sure you'll fall in love. If you're not a hard core guy, then just leave the table as is if its not tighten yet.

Might run you another 300 for someone to pick it up and setup for you.

I'm looking to upgrade from the 7ft valley I currently have. I like these tables and it's time to get real. Also like the diamond tables but never see them for sale. Thanks for your help !
 
GCIV End Sag Fix

the gc4s have some sagging problems.!

The GCIV has a much better subframe, pockets are bigger, trim on pocket is lowered, adjustable feet. Lousy finish on pocket castings but vein or textured powder coat solves that.

CGI is a classy looking table if all the trim is there. I have read the the II's are better then the I's.

Easy fix on the GC IV end sag.
All GCIV owners need to do this BEFORE the problem shows up.

Thank RKC(Glen) for the Gold Crown IV End Sag Fix.

I really love my Gold Crown 4. Either table will make you a happy camper. I much prefer the Brunswick product over the Diamond tables. For this reason I have the Gold Crown 4.

2k for a GC4 sounds like a steal to me, 1500 for a GC1 seems high, I say this cause I bought a GC3 Pianao black for 800. I'd go in on the 4.
