Parts to convert Gold Crown 5 to ball return

[Cue]

I am looking for parts to convert my Gold Crown 5 Tournament edition to have a ball return. I have contacted Classsic Billiards and they only have the pockets, Brunswick was no help. Anyone converted one or even maybe have the parts to sell?

Could be done but>>Would take a lot of custom work. Pockets can be found. Gullies possibly improvised. Ball box would have to be built

B'wick sold a ball-return version of the 5. finding the parts might be tricky. pic:https://valley-billiards.com/product/9-brunswick-gold-crown-5-with-ball-return-pro-rails/

For some reason I did not like the look of the 5. Thought Brunswick killed tradition...... But that particular 5 is a beautiful table.

What is it about your drop pockets that you don't like? I've owned a few dozen gold crowns with ball returns and almost without exception switch them all to drop pockets. Ball returns a lot of times are trouble. Balls hang up people drop chalk in the pocket they're noisy particularly in a room when you got about 15 of these tables going at one time. Keep your drop pockets or maybe you can replace them with a nicer drop pocket that's quieter and maybe holds more balls I don't know what's out there but I wouldn't go to the trouble to try and do that change. Way more trouble then it's worth.

I have GC4...gave a lot of thought to swapping the ball return to drop pockets. Tired of bending over. I like drops for 1p.

Funny, when I bought my gc4 I told the buy I didn't want the return, wanted drop pockets.
