Question,
Your castings and rails appear to be nice and flush on the top. I also have an early GC and I had to use the old coin shim trick where the casting lip where it meets the rail on the under side so that the casting and the rail tops are flush.
Did you do the same or were your castings and rails flush from the start?

would need feedback from Jack. He installed the table and I feel like I recall him mentioning a bit of shimming going on there...
Appreciate the comments guys.
Here are a couple more pictures after I polished the chrome and cleaned the fiberglass.
Many years ago, I watched a player put his cue through that hole instead of resting it somewhere safe. He sat right on his cue and snapped it.
Freddie <~~~ oh, the memories
Are you looking to adopt? I cook really good southern style Caju food, and I'm not half bad at racking.
interesting to learn the rubber bumpers were intended not to protect the butt end but were "noise subduers" as stated
Wonderful thread and lots of info for those who were born past that era of equipment. And sweet memories for those who witnessed it :thumbup:
Indeed. The finished product all together is truly amazing!
Thanks for the feedback guys. Now Im trying to decide what to do with that built in tv mount in the corner and possibly painting my whole basement blue. I originally only did the "pool area" to kinda separate the rooms... any thoughts?
Here is a better picture with the flash on. More accurate on the gold color.

Just came across this old thread and had to say the table and accessories look fantastic. Great job.
The legs and stretcher of my GC need to be repainted to look as nice as the gold on the aprons. I wanted to match the original white as close as possible. It seems a number of people are using SW cotton white which seemed a bit off to me. I took apart one of my wall racks and had Sherwin Williams color match a spot that has been hidden for all these years and should have the most accurate, unaltered color. It turned out so good its hard to spot the new color. I have attached 2 pictures where I boxed in the new spot. Also a picture of the paint formula / code from Sherwin Williams. I will be doing the same thing with the gold color.

Here you go Ian. This is a exact match for the blue on a Gold Crown 1.

Your table and light are spectacular. How did you apply the paint? Is there any durability issues? I ask as I'm looking to do the same thing but in the blue.
Awesome. Thanks for sharing. Now we have 3 of the 4 colors in this thread.
Blue, Gold and White
Thanks,
I used a 10$ hplv gun from Harbor freights. It went on nice and looks great. As far as durability, Its holding up great, but then again its just a home table and I don't have any kids.
Thanks for the reply. I figured it was sprayed. Is the one code for the blue color? is the white gloss and the gold semi-gloss?
