A couple of questions:
Pocket castings: They feel heavier than aluminum. If 'pot metal', was there a plating to create the visible shiny surfaces?(the interiors appear dull grey/blackish) Can the shiny side be polished to a high finish by polishing(rouge/Mothers/Semichrome)? Will it oxidize afterwards? Should it be sealed with ??clearcoat?
Where does 'anodizing' come into play? Was the pot metal anodized to create the shiny appearance? Will re-anodizing restore the shiny without future maintenance needed? Does all anodizing create a shiny surface? I have trouble with the glare off 'chromed' pocket castings coming from the lights or sun.
Is powder coating/paint a decent alternative? A bit less shiny? Many colors available? Surface preparation needed? Polished/ blasted with walnut shells to slightly rough up?
Table Color schemes
Did GC II's come in the blue/tangerine/white aprons,on white base like the GCI's? Where do you find the original paint codes or something close?
Adjustable feet
This GCII table has nuts that are secured in place(with 2 small wood screws on either side thru pre-drilled holes on the circumference) up inside the leg hollow. The 3/4-16 threaded 'bolt' is solidly attached to the foot. Looks like you screw in or out to adjust height-looks like you need some weight off to do this.
I saw a discussion of 'lazy susan' swiveling leveling plates for use in conjunction with 'nail studded carpet plates.
Is this the GCV leg leveling system? Will these fit a GC II? Available anywhere besides Brunswick?-Can't find em for sale on their website-only mentioned as a patented new feature of the table.
Plastic/fiberglass skirts
On a ball-return table-if you have them-would you reinstall them-at least once? And hope that the ball return system doesn't need access afterwards.
I know it's a lot of questions. I apologize if it is too many. (Glenn-I haven't made it to a Brunswick dealer yet)
Thanks
Merry Christmas
