Hey, Dennis, I have that problem here on one of our Ds - the one that's moved most. It is an older one that has the cam blocks that hold the legs & lyre in place, like the S/M/L do. Is that what you're talking about? I had considered replacing the cams with the sliding wedges like the current Ds have. That seems like it would be a more robust system. If the movers don't have to loosen/tighten screws, they have less of a chance of screwing things up. Regards, Ken Z.
