My Old Quantum has died on me -- What a sad day... Is there another ball out that has the same core and cover stock as the Quantum.. I have the dark Quantum....

Did you try the old hot water bath trick to revive it? Brunswick balls, in my experience, seem to do well with this to restore it's reaction..

I have a single drill 14 lb 12 oz Imperial Quantum. Send me your email and I'll send you pics.
Otherwise, check out the MoRich Perpetual Motion and Aggressive Motion. Huge mushroom-shaped low RG cores with modern coverstocks.

Here's his ball:
Same core does equal same ball. The Perpetual Motion is not an equivalent.
If zanatos can find a Bruiser, it will be closer. Only difference is the Bruiser is a solid/pearl combo of PK 18, but the Raven was also highly polished.

The Quantum Raven was the best ball I've ever thrown. Sad to hear yours died, because after all these years I can still put the ball to use if I'm feeling nostalgic.

Just received email from the Brunswick.. They say Karma Blue/green Pearl is about the same -- Anybody thrown that ball...

Did you try Detox?
Due to page break hard to see but this a necro thread brought up by a new poster looking for older quantums. Good chance one or more posters may be dead by now plus don't even think the detox was even an option back then for most part.
