Can someone with a WL CT hook me up with a pic or explanation of what Atari used for the pivot point for the cab hinge ('tabletop support')? Can't find a good pic and it isn't in the manual exploded view. :/
 
So in your pic it looks like a 1/4-20 (maybe smaller) screw, washer, through wood, washer, stop nut. Is that how it was originally done, any idea?

I figured they would have at least used a sleeve so the screw can be tight and the hinge doesn't ride thread, maybe not?
 
just the bolt thru the wood with some flat washers and a locking nut - no sleeve was used, i don't expect the raising of the top would get done very often

i believe mine had a 10/32 bolt in it - similar to the control panel button heads (i think)

i added the second locking arm to mine just because i had a second one lying around and no where else to use it in the foreseeable future
