see above, it is tight when fully screwed together, but less than a quarter turn "loose", and there is a serious wobble between the butt and shaft. I am fearful of really cranking it too tight to avoid stripping the threads.

Got an aftermarket shaft that is correct thread for existing butt, but is a bit wobbly screwing on.

Anybody tried a bit of white teflon plumbing tape to tighten up the fit??

I don't have any tape handy to try, so I wondered if anyone had done it before me.

TIA.

I actually wonder if 760 would be better for a Diamond, since its rails are usually considered faster than other tables. The bed speed would more closely match the rail speed. I've never played on a Diamond with 760, but have played on dozens of Gold Crowns with 760 (and 860 of course).

if it tight when fully screwed, then you don't need to do anything.
If it's not, there is a fitting issue and it could be fixed by re-threading the shaft but if it's a cheap shaft then I wouldn't bother with it. just sell it and get a better fitting shaft.
