[Elecraft] Tilt Stand Problem

Fri Oct 18 17:34:00 2002

Use the forces of nature.  Or rather... Use the FORCE, Luke!

Do this:

Take some wire/string/rope/whatever.

Make a loop around the tilt-stand legs.

Take a screwdriver and entangle it in the "loop."

Twist the screwdriver, tightening the "loop" until such time as it
"fits" into the slots in both bads.  Then, rotate the screwdriver the
opposite direction.

It's all about leverage.
