My table has a slight roll off when I slow roll a ball into the corner pocket. Is this something that I can adjust, or should I call a mechanic. I think that I have the adjustable feet and was thinking of a bottle jack and a twist of the foot on that corner??
Roll Off on my GC III

It could be frame sag which is common on GCIII's and Gold Crown IV's with the redesigned frame. Here's a thread about it and the fix.
Just for your information.
I thought I'd post some pictures of how to brace the end slate frame on a Gold Crown 4 as to stop the sagging of the end slates because of the bad slate frame design by Brunswick. On thick carpet/padding you can use this little trick of...

My GC came with the bearing plates under the feet, I was able to use a strap wrench to twist the corner foot. My GC4 never sagged.
Could be you got a IV after they went back to the original frame design. Early III's didn't have an issue either.
Yes. Just towards one corner pocket. The rest of the table seems to play fine. I have a small video, but can't get it small enough to upload to this forum.
I'm not a Pro but this seems like the problem is with 1 slate. Seems to me if you adjust the foot you'll move the whole frame.. the other two slates will move with it as well.
Does it roll off toward the rail or away from the rail?
Turn the foot on that corner very slightly. After each adjustment, roll balls on both sides of the table, and monitor the roll-out. Continue adjusting the foot, until the roll-out is even on both sides. Keep in mind, it's all about symmetry. You want to roll the balls approximately the same distance from the long rail, on each side of the table.
It is rolling towards the rail. The roll off doesn't begin until i'm about halfway past the side pocket. The adjacent side has no roll off. I'm thinking that adjusting the foot on that corner, as bradsh98 has advised, should do the trick.
