I have some bad experiences with the table popping out and crashing to the floor. Anyone have a solution. I have seen the fix for the dinett version. Thanks.

There are several suggestions in the Tech Tips. I cut two bloks and wedged them between the table top and the rail that is below the pot shelf

The table in my '89 was shortened by a PO (who really needs a table that long) and it has a SS barrel bolt mounted on the compression post that holds it in place. The barrel bolt slides into a hole drilled through the edge of the table horizontally. I thought this was original equipment but maybe not.

Hi Jesse,

On Snickerdoodle, I cut a 1" X 1.25" piece of oak that is the same width as the table. Then drilled two 1/4" holes in one of the 1" sides about 1/2" in from the ends. The holes need to be at about right angles to the piece of wood (use a drill press if you have one). I then glued (Elmer's wood glue) a 1/4" dowel for each hole. Cut the dowels so they extend about 1/2" out from the wood piece. This now is your "holder".

Next set up the table in it's normal position with the starboard side extended. Make sure that the metal table flanges fit fully into their receivers. Paint some black paint, ink, or other marking liquid on the very ends of the extended dowels. Carefully center the "holder" on the table near the main bulkhead and press the dowel ends against the bulkhead to mark where to drill two 1/4" holes. Take the table down and drill the two holes.

Set the table back up. Push the dowels from the holder into the holes in the bulkhead. There will be enough mechanical advantage in the dowels and the "holder" to keep the table in place....even with the starboard side extended.
