For me, made in Germany is always going to win over made in China If I was restoring another Gold Crown 1, though, I would definitely go with the Artemis cushions. I've heard rkc and now Trent recommending the super speeds so it must be that they fixed the problem with those poor quality ones from 15 years ago I have confidence that the German made Artemis rubber will not fail like the old super speed Chinese ones did (twice).
BRUNSWICK GOLD CROWN MODS
After doing some checking I was told that the quality had gone way down on the rubber being used as they were being made for Brunswick in China very poor quality compared to Originals.Īfter waiting a couple years I was lucky to get rkc to come and Cobracize my table which included the subrail mods and new Artemis IC cushions and I couldn't be happier with how my table now plays I have a GC1 and approx 10 to 15 years ago the original cushions finally gave out so I had to replace and the replacement super speeds at that time only lasted a year before getting hard spots I replaced them again and sure enough more hard spots on this set as well. Out and the subrails need to be REPLACED, I do Unless the railsĪre chewed up in the jaws/ cloth relief stapled Sub rail extension's are definitely a good modificationĪnd can be proven factually: the pocket being reduced properly Gc4 5 or 6 is simply wasting good playing rails. Anyone who would cut off the subrails on a Spent around $2000.00 and to me was a total waste of
Like an Olhausen! I was not impressed at all. I could quantify is that the pockets rattled balls
BRUNSWICK GOLD CROWN MOD
I also have played on a GC4 with sub mod and They bank true, these are quantifiable facts. If you are getting 4 rails or more length wise and I really can't tell the differenceīetween his table and others with no sub mod:They all play good. Sub rail mod and one of them I play on his CentennialĪ couple times a year. I have had a couple clients that have wanted the Other, is going to make the table play that much better.Īgain, all I hear is some people say they play better, but, no facts. Sold that changing the bevel by 1 degree one way or the Surface a little bit( 1/4" in each direction because theĬushions are 1/8" bigger across the top), but, as longĪs the nose height is 1- 7/16", they play great. No one has ever posted any fact that actually quantifies Superspeeds on GC 1's, Anniversary or Centennials. To all who have contributed to this thread ,THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE INPUT, Ill let you all know if I wind up going through with this, for me it boils down to Slate or brunstone.I have never had anyone complain about current This is the last of the questions Ill ask of you for this table, as today is the day my decision must be in. Or are you 100% sure from the pics provided that this is in fact the infamous Brunstone ?
RKC Ive read you mention in other threads similar that some GC2 did infact have slate on later models, is there any chance at all that the table Ive posted could very well be slate ? I'll probably just take the best parts from each table and get the best bang for under $800 delivered ,Ill still have to disassemble, load,and reassemble, seems to be a fair deal, the brunstone still really bugs me, I kinda feel im downsizing. Though if $600 each ,theres not much meat left on the bone, profit wise to flip one ,Im considering only buying 1. The seller has 2 Gc-2s ,and said if I just get them out of there, he'll let them both go for a even $1200.
