Original Brunswick Cloth Install Manual

[playpool2]

About 40 years ago I acquired an original "How to Attach Brunswick Billiard Cloth manual - 51-902823.

There is even an addendum with estimated installation times for various Brunswick models. Plus a cushion rebound procedure section.

There is also a copy of the Brunswick slate guarantee: "Lifetime to the original owner". Also a parts list for a bunch of different Brunswick products.

If there is enough interest I could scan and make this material available.

The rails they're showing how to recover are GC1 rails. I've never installed cloth on the slates the way it's shown here

I would love to see this material. As not just a table mech but to see how things might have changed

Cushion Rebound Procedure and Bed Flatness Procedure

I also had a custom made oak box with an aluminum incline and a specially balanced cue ball to use with the above. A nicely done item with the interior covered in some kind of fabric as I recall. After 35 years or so I gave it to a local Brunswick dealer. Hope he got some use out of it.

I wonder what are inclined ramp dimensions (length and height). I see 10' mentioned, but those 6 1/2 degrees... Why not just give H and L, and never think about degrees?

I doubt if any mechanic nowadays uses such a ramp though. Glen?

Great stuff! Thank you.

That's because YOUR way is FAR superior, than tacking the cloth down! :thumbup: Unfortunately, for most people, they don't possess the skills or the materials necessary to do the right way!

Having been a pool player for the majority of my childhood and adult life, I don't need a ramp meter to tell me what the cushion play like, or the speed of the cloth...I know what's right and wrong when I get on a pool table

I just got an old brunswick 9ft pool table and I sure would like a copy

of those '' How to '' instructions. I will be putting up some pic hoping

someone can tell me how old my table is. You can reach me at

my cell 210 687 five four nine seven.

Thanks,
