[Rhodes22-list] Keeping the table top stowed?

[PBR]

Here is a pic and web link to the part I use to hold table in place.

Had to remove the rail to drill.  Place the hole down at the center line
of where the table top will rest, otherwise the knob would be too close to
ceiling.  There may be better suited parts but this one works ok.
