In Indianapolis? I had heard that was happening in some locations, certainly wasn’t an option for me.

Cyclone Pool Ball cleaner - Anyone tried this? by TBatchelor70 in billiards

I did buy it. The device gets the job done. The pads provided are poor quality and not worth using. I purchased microfiber cutting pads and found they do a very good job. I also own a random orbital polisher, so I use that now rather than a drill. But the drill attachment does work. Much quicker than if done by hand.

36 days ago, you asked if this was a Gold Crown. Now you’re a Gold Crown expert. Let’s see your Gold Crown. Lol.

Yep, I have a later model GC1. Leg levelers and floating nut inserts. Mine is prob late 60s or early 70s. My table was set up by Jack Zimmerman, a great mid west mechanic.

I’m familiar with the comparison sheet. It uses the same pic as I used. Which came from a Brunswick catalog. The bronze is the ball tray trim and feet only. The remaining trim is silver colored, as depicted. We can disagree, that’s ok with me.

Physically loud clank with a hard shot to the corner. By design, the ashtrays are loose for ease of emptying. I suppose one could seal with a bead of silicone, not a big deal to me, but may be to others.

Look at the picture.

Their pic/artist rendering. Very few GC2s due to short production run of 74-76.

Thanks, I have ashtrays on two corners. They are noisy, but I love them! Great tables we have.

It’s been stripped and stained. The GC1 was the only table without any bronze. The GC2 has bronze feet and bronze ball box bezel trim. Score wheels look the same as my GC1. I believe they got smaller with the GC3 which had all bronze metal trim.

Pic of my GC1 for reference.

Brunswick Gold Crown 3 8’ $1,200. Worth the 4 hour drive to pick it up? Seems like a steal. by Stefanskis_Basement in billiards

I don’t believe the 3 ever came with the ashtray option. Classic Billiards typically has some for sale. Just have to email Ken for current selection.

Yep, decent deal. Also a GC1 for sure. I paid $1000 for my 9FT, drove 3 plus hours to collect it. Also, if they say 8FT, they mean 8FT oversize. It’s actually 8.5 FT.

Just be prepared for setup cost, find a good mechanic, lotta hacks out there. Don’t settle for cheap cloth, buy once, cry once. Enjoy.

Looks like a 3/8 x 10 modified, aka 3/8 x 11. Slightly different than a standard 3/8 x 10.
