Gold Crown II

This table was a result of a merger/aquisition between Brunswick and a bar box company sometime decades ago. I think the Gold Crown 2000 was only around a couple of years. Its very obscure, even pool nuts rarely know about it.

I thought maybe that's what the OP was looking at when he/seller mentioned coin-op, but his pictures clearly show a "real" Gold Crown.

I guess the Gold Crown Coin has a similar story in recent years. Made with a partnership with Global, but only a handful were ever made and installed in the past few
years.

The Global thing makes sense. Not a "real" Gold Crown, I agree.

Brunswick owned Valley for a while. This is a Valley/Dynamo barbox, NOT a Gold Crown. I don't care what they call that its not a real Gold Crown. Has nothing to do with what the op is trying to buy.

Says Gold Crown right on it☺️
Never heard the Valley/Dynamo thing. Shares absolutely no parts with either.
 
Brunswick re-used some of the names over the years. Twice with the Gold Crown. The first was the Gold Crown 2000, and the second was the Gold Crown Coin.

They did the same with the Centennial or the Anniversary (I forget which one now). There was a complete POS table, I think even with a non-slate top, that had that name on the side of it. I saw the picture a few weeks ago somewhere.

Those are all obscure edge cases. When someone says Gold Crown, or Anniversary, or Centennial, what they are talking about is clear to everyone.

B'wick owned Valley/Dynamo from '03 to about 2010. They shifted production to Mexico. That's who made the table you posted a pic of. Since '10 they are US owned/made in Texas.

I was sure I played on some coin op GCs 30+ yrs ago in the Carolinas(I think)

Maybe it was a 9' Valley and im mis-remembering
 
I don't know. I didn't play much growing up. I am retired now and just started playing about a year ago. I have been playing on an eight foot Bristol or Contender, I can't tell which, but thought I would like to have a nice nine foot table to setup in my shop. I am in South Carolina, so maybe you are right and some, were after engineered some way for coin operation. Like I said, I have no idea.
