Two questions, GCIII if I may ...

I'm about ready to redo my GCIII ( I'm in CT) First question, any suggestions for a mechanic?

Second part, the cushions seem fine although admittedly original, but there was a lug or slate nut (don't know the term used) in the rail that had a broken bolt in it when I got the table. I was able to drill it out and tap new threads in, but the drilled hole was slightly elongated getting the broken bolt out, so I would like that changed. Do I have to change the cushions if that one is removed to replace that lug?

thanks.

Called a nut plate. You don't necessarily have to change cushions but if you're redoing (recloth ?) the table then now would probably be a good time to address the rails and cushions. Best in your area is Jay Spielberg 603-765-6160

Thanks, which cushions do you suggest. I have 760 on it now, but I'm considering 860. I play straight pool or 1pkt.

thanks again!

If you're mad at your money, get Artemis Intercontinental #66, which will set you back around $300.

If you want the best bang for your buck get some Diamond K55 cushions. They are good quality and will work well on your GCIII!

I also would recommend Jay Spielberg, one of the best IMO :thumbup:
 
Agree with Jack on the Diamond cushions.
Would also say stick with 760 for 14.1 and 1P
 
Hi,

Thanks for the recommendations guys! I would recommend John Palmer from OTLB. He does great work and is super reliable. Give him a call at
860-482-4000 You'll be happy.

Jay
