Hi David,
Earlier in the thread Ryan described that the function is the same as without the pin. The added pin locks the table in certain set positions with the pin. He didn’t discuss rattle or other things. ]
He gave some pictures I’m looking forward to going over. The earlier posts had the picture links.
I’m not completely understanding the placement of the pin or what the pin looks like but I can visualize it.
For me I would put the pin in the cabinet so it doesn’t show and change the original look. I’m not sure where his pictures show it is.
