Gold Crown Pocket Castings

[Biloxi Boy]

Is there a particular GC model that has copper or bronze pocket castings? Just a repair? I have only seen one picture of the table.

Gold Crown IVs can also have bronze pocket castings. The ones in the tournament room at Hard Times Billiards in Sacramento were like that last time I played there years ago. Also, I bought a used GCIV for home and it came with badly pitted bronze pocket castings (so I had all the castings, feet, etc. powder coated to the color I wanted for a very reasonable price).

Here's an example of a GCIV with bronze pocket castings for sale:

How bad was it? Three out of the four rails I checked were dead (as in solidified) and all metal corroded (as in submerged in Katrina). "But, completely rebuilt after the hurricane." Asking price: $3000. And the beat goes on . . .
