I sold my Olhausen table last month and picked up this Brunswick Gibson on Craigslist for a great price! I had a AZ member "JZMechanix" off of here to do the tear down and the set up on this table. He did a FANTASTIC JOB! I couldnt be more pleased with his work. Table plays great with the Simonis 860HR cloth and tighten the pockets at 4.75" in the corners and 5.25". On the next recover I might go with extending the rails to get the pockets at 4.5". Enjoy the pics. :D

Very nice. The Gibson is my favorite table with its solid (!) wood look and great lines. Have fun.

I have always loved this brunswick model. Probably because it's a throwback to the anniversary. At one point I considered getting one since I was having trouble finding an anniversary that fit my budget. Great looking table that should really play fantastic!
 
Brian, it was a pleasure working with you! That is one of the nicest tables I've ever worked on. Thanks also to my partner Todd Leising for helping with the install. Enjoy :grin:
 
Nice upgrade

Very nice looking table and room you got there. It does look like a dressed up version of their Anniversary table. I always liked tables with a flat rail.

That is saweeeeeet! I hadn't seen a Gibson before (without strings that is) and that is a handsome table there! :thumbup:

Mind if I ask a ballpark as to what you paid?

That is a great looking table and a very nice installation. I had a Gibson in my house a few years back and there was a problem with the rails that we could never solve. For some reason when you banked a ball that was on the rail and within an inch of the pocket, it would always reverse. It would not bank true. I wonder if Brunswick has solved that problem on these tables.

Maybe the original poster can check that out.

I picked this beauty up for $1800. I bought this off of a doctor in Indy. The table is about 5 years old and was used very little.
