Subject:      Supporting the pop top to remove the frame
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8

Ok - so in order to repair or replace my pop top frame mechanism without
removing the poptop itself, I would need to support it. That's a simple
concept, but I would like to know EXACTLY how!  I'm envisioning a wooden
jig something like THIS ONE

I was thinking that an auto jack might go below the base, but never used
one.

Harbor freight has a great little hydraulic table lift

that would probably be perfect, but I'm not sure I want to lay out the $$$.
 (a coupon would reduce it by $20.)

Sometimes I get a little too complicated.  I'd like to know of other ways
to securely and safely prop up the pop top so that the frame can be
removed.  Pictures would be very helpful, as I don't always understand the
terminology.

Thanks!  :-)
