Olhausen side pockets

[ezmeyer]

I have an 8 foot olhausen augusta home table and have noticed recently that both side pockets are loose where the metal dowel? or bolt goes into the rail, you can actually move tthe pocket up and down because the dowel is not tight in the rail hole, should I be concerned, and what can I do to correct this problem, also any recommendations for a good table mechanic in the Lawrence, Kansas area? (about 30 miles west of Kansas City) thanks

The pocket bolts have just worked loose. Seems to be pretty common on Olhausens for some reason. I'd throw a lock washer on there and tighten it back down or install lock washers the next time it gets moved or recovered while all the rails are off anyway.
