Looking at a used Gold Crown IV

Gloss black...nice.
The rails(2) on my GC4 got real hard around 12 years after purchase. No sunlight on the rail...but the basement is cold in the Winter.The rubber simply aged. Did not replace with the Brunswick superspeed cushions. But not a bad thing. I had the rails and pockets calibrated. My GC4 listed for $7500..got it new (delivered and installed with Simonis)for $5000...accessories were extra.

Who recalibrated your rail System?

I'm not sure about this but unlike the GC1,2,3, I thought the 4 was made to accept the new rubber without recalibration unless you want it to play like a Diamond.

"The Turk" did my table. Bob DeTurk. If I bought a new table I would have problem choosing between a Diamond (Blue Label) or GoldCrown 5. Most likely would be GC5 as I love GC's. Just something about them.

I played on one in Vegas while some hack was on the super tight Diamond. It was GC, what else can you say except I didn't like the looks.

The GC4 is an awesome table. When I first got it I was a typical table homeowner. Had no idea what I was getting(installation). The installation was fair at best. I learned about tables/pockets as I moved along thanks to AzB and 1P.org. Diamonds are first class...built incredibly well...but put some work into a GC and it's the nuts. And timeless beauty to go long with it.
