Old Gold Crown 3 Possible Restoration

[HaroldWilson]

Hello, I am thinking of buying an old Gold Crown 3 which has been sitting in a shed for a few years. I am in Australia and these tables are like hens teeth so I want to restore it. Are there any issues I should look for when inspecting the table before purchase, such as wood movement etc and how would I look for the issues?

PS: I am pretty sure it is a Gold Crown 3. Are there any badges I should look for under the table that identify the model?


Thank you

Its a GC 3.
If your lucky there is a ID label located high on the stretcher panel which connects the two leg supports.
Usally their missing or unreadable.
How much are they asking.
Good luck with the table.

Hi, thank you I will have a look. They want 3K AUD but I am trying to get them down. I am guessing it will take a minimum of 3K to get it transported and then the body restored with new cloth and cushions. So I will be in for at least 6K, possibly more if i get any surprises..

Hi there,
That's way over priced for a table in that kind of condition.
Anyway keep us posted.
Cheers

I know, but I am a bit stuck as I live in WA and they don't play the game here and I can't buy a decent table other than Chinese knockoffs. I have looked at a Rasson or Diamond but they want 11K+ for them.
