Gold Crown 1 help

[Mantool]

Does anyone know where I can find the score counter metal spring clip for a reasonable price? $29.00 from classic billiards is a little steep.

I am looking for a ball return for my Gold Crown III. Do the GC 1 and GC III use the same ball return?

I am in need of some new cloth. I would like a cheap worsted cloth that plays faster than 860. I was leaning toward Granito 2000 or Velocity pro. Does Dartman carry Gorina cloth?

I need some feather strips and facings as well. Is there a facing that is a bit thicker. The red facings on the Gold Crown 2 that a member just posted about earlier, looked a bit thicker. fsarfino?

Here are some pics of the rails. The cushion is slightly pulled from the rail. I wouldn't call it loose, but when pulled back you can see a 1/16" gap
This gap does not go far down. Is this an issue? If so how can I fix this for cheap?
Thanks in advance.

What I used for facings was red rubber that I bought from a local hardware store or you can also get it from home depot. It is used for gasket material for plumbers. its 1/8" thick they also sell 1/4 " but that looked way to thick.

If you dont have a mini belt sander it might be hard to use it since you need to cut it out of the flat sheet and shape it to fit.

The cloth I put on my table is Velocity Pro and so far I really like it. plays true and fast.

Your rubber probably wont go anywhere if the pics you posted are as bad as it gets. If you feel so inclined, and want to save the money, you can CAREFULLY pull the loose rubber off, clean up the old glue on the rubber and sub-rails, and then re-glue with some contact cement.

If you are going through the trouble of putting new facings on, and possibly re-gluing your rubber, you might want to consider replacing the cushions. You will be happy you did in the long run.

I'll dig around see if I have any clips loose.

For the rubber you can touch up loose spots with elmers Glue or good contact cement both work well.
