Do a search on "salon table" (with the "" marks) and you'll find a bunch of discussions.

Here are two:

http://c34.org/bbs/index.php/topic,2618.0.html (http://c34.org/bbs/index.php/topic,2618.0.html)

There are MANY more, all for you to absorb.  Good luck.

You're not alone Ed!  I've had the same issues!

Also, since you have an 1988 model (Not that it really matters), can you add your sail number to your signature?  Seems like there's a lot 88's on here...

Thanks, and welcome aboard!

Our PO must have gotten tired of dealing with the spring post. Ours just has a solid tube that pulls out of the table socket and the floor socket and then you just store the tube under the table..
We had this same arrangement in the RV we used to have. Maybe that's where he got the idea.

Works fine, lasts a long time.

Please do NOT lubricate the post.  It will damage it.  While this has been discussed many times, I'll leave it to you to do the search for the previous discussions.
