Hi,
I too have the 12.0 base (and 12.0 wand) and removable arm board of a TNT IV. Looking at what Votan has published related to the dogleg and tower mods, I would like to take a step back to see if there is anything that can be done to fix the sloppy play I have in my removable arm board itself - there is a bit more there than should be, IMHO. Some of what he proposed (bracing in (2) places on the dog leg assembly) doesn't seem possible on a removable arm board style table, but that is another discussion. To compensate for the loose fit, I have inserted pieces of a paper based drink coaster in there to stop it from moving but am seeking something better (i.e. screws, clamps, etc.). I know BRF has stated the boards come in two sizes, but since this is my first (yet, somewhat ancient) VPI table, I am unsure if this is normal (NB: I haven't measured the board or the slot, yet). If this is normal, has anyone thought about ways to help compensate having the older TNT type arm boards fit a bit more secure (other that making a new one from wood or acrylic, so that it would fit securely with very minimal play)? Thanks!
