DID YOU HIRE "Child labor" ????? :wink:
My New (to me) Brunswick Gold Crown Table
- Thread starter sjensen1207
- Start date
Yes, one of the casters has the date of 2/22/63 inscribed on it.
The pockets are 4 3/8".
It is the original (white) paint scheme from the factory...I didn't want to repaint it...I thought the nicks and dings gave it character. It does have additional (white) plastic skirts for it, but I chose not to put them on at this point.

Isn't that weird? I think it's only on the 63' models. Anyone else have the scribbled dates?
scribbled dates
Mine has the same thing, from around March 1963. All of the pockets are within a few days of each other, except one- which is two weeks off. Did you notice that the scribbles are in "relief" and stick up rather than being scratched into the metal? Mine was. It must have been written into the disposable cast mold?!?
I left the dents and dings in mine as well.

The foundryman had to scratch the date into the mold before the casting was poured. He had to write backward which is why the penmanship is not the best. I would swear that the foundry mark on that casting in atthecat's photo is from General Motors Central Foundry Division. It seems odd that they would have been producing castings for Brunswick.
Did you modify the sub-rails before you put on the new cushions? There was a thread in the "Talk To A Mechanic" section that talked about how the cushions today are different than the ones used on the GC1"s. realkingcobra said the playing surface would be smaller than 50"x100" with new cushions unless the sub-rails are modified.

One of my friend told me about a company who manufacture billiards table. I also bought it from there and the result is satisfactory. Hope this helps in future!
Beautiful table and set up. Wish i could have redone my room prior to getting table.
