Grand Hudson
Components
Cradle
This part of the game is the cabinet the playfield lays in. These cradles are in two sections ranging from 6’ to 11’
each depending on the size of the game. For 18’ games and larger, the cradle comes in two crates. All of the
holes needed for assembly are pre-drilled.
Playfield
The playfield, also known as the plank, is made from maple and finished with a polymer surface on top. On the
bottom of the playfield you will notice pre-drilled holes. These are where the climatic adjusters will be installed.
These are used to adjust the playing surface.
End Legs
These legs support the cradle. The number of legs depends on the size of the game.
12’, 14’, 16’ shuffleboards – 2 legs
18’, 20’, 22’ shuffleboards – 4 legs
Center Leg
The center leg attaches the two cradle halves. The center leg harnesses the scoreboard. It can also be identified
by having a hole on one side which allows the scoreboard cables to pass through.
The end legs and center leg also come with leg levelers.
Accessories
In the crates containing the cradles, you will find the following:
•
One set of pucks (4 Red 4 Blue) in a wooden storage case
•
2 bottles of powder
•
Climatic
adjusters
•
Electronic scoreboard and mounting pole
•
Scoring controls and cables
•
2 plate covers (these are used to cover the middle seam where the cradles meet)
•
Hardware - nuts, screws, bolts, washers, hex-wrench (2)
1. Installing The Cradle
Now that you have all the components for the game, let’s get started.
a. Unload the contents of the cradles. For tables 16’ and smaller, this means lifting the playfield out of the
cradle. (If this is necessary, go down to step 3). To do this, use the back of a hammer or a crowbar to pry off
the top piece of the crate. Remove the components and place them off to the side (we’ll get to them soon).
Once the cradle is unloaded, place the two halves of the cradle upside down as close to where you want the
permanent location of the table to be.
NOTE: One side-wall of the assembled cradle has a mounting bracket and pre-drilled holes located where
the cradles join. This is where the scoreboard attaches. This will be the back side of your game.
