It's not clear what you are asking for, but the best cloth for carom tables is made by Simonis (Simonis 300) and Gorina (Granito M?). If you need to replace the cushion rubber, I think you will want to get Artemis or Kleber.

You need to know the profile of rubber that your table uses. This determines the height of the cushion where it strikes the ball. The rails of every table is designed to accomodate the profile of rubber that will be used. For example, Gabriels today use a P37 profile. That would not work properly on another table that was designed for another profile.

You probably need an experienced mechanic to look at your table to get it right.

how can I tell which profile this antique (30) yr old Montana table should have? It's the only 3 cushion table in Albuquerque and have no mechanics that work on 3 cushion tables here.

You might start by posting the questions in the "Table Mechanic" forum on this website. Someone will undoubtedly be able to either answer your questions directly, or refer you to a good source. ~Doc

I have a 90 year old 5 X 10 foot Brunswick Monarch that was completely done over with Simonis 860 cloth and new rails by Blatt's in New York. It came out amazing. They are one of the best in dealing with antique tables. Good luck.

I'm not familiar with the table you have but if it's an old table made in the USA it's most likely a K55 profile. The rubber that Bob Jewett mentioned is European 4 sided rubber.

Not having a table mechanic isn't around isn't the end of the world. I gave my rails to a master cabnet maker with a sample of the liner I needed. I thought he'd simply make me a new liner and cut off the old, but instead he built a jig, set up his knives and cut the existing liner warped rail and all. No problem. Came out great. Cost about $300 for the mod. and around $300 for the rubber 15 years ago.
