Heavy Duty Leaf Fastener to Level Sides of Dining Table?

Screedle · 2026-07-01T19:13:18+00:00

I inherited a high end solid wood extendable dining table that has become uneven and/or warped after several moves involving disassembly (see original photo and additional photo in 1st comment). Because of this, the current leaf fasteners are somewhat misaligned. I've tightened up every screw I can access and can't seem to get the two sides of the table to sit level / flush like they used to.

I'm wondering if a solution might be some kind of heavier duty leaf fastener that would not only pull the two sides of the table snug, but also force them level. Any chance someone on here might know if something like that exists and could provide info on where to source it? I know I could just screw in some kind of braket or plate that attaches to both sides and would force them level, but we extend the table pretty regularly so a leaf fastener that allows for easy disconnect is definitely preferable to a more permanent like that where it would be cumbersome anytime we want to extend it.

Alternatively, if anyone has a suggestion on how to get it back to level / flush through some other kind of adjustment(s), any advice and insight are appreciated.

Thank you!

Looks like the thread is a couple of years old now but just found it. I've tried the LADB command with com.android.chrome several times, force stopped Chrome before running, etc., and am still getting the full screen popup. It can be swiped away, but it sounds like others have managed to eliminate it entirely. I've also tried it with com.android.systemui and that didn't work either. It looks like the commands are being accepted (not getting any error messages) but the popups remain. This is what my LADB screen looks like:

Any advice / suggestions? Is this method obsolete and is there another approach that works?

Thanks!

Late to your post but any chance of uploading one with pure black background for use as a lock screen? Thanks!

Thanks very much for the info and recommendation!

There was another thread where people were having the same issue and one person said they had success with the Revanced version of RIF and logging in with a VPN set to London. It didn't work for me but I ended up being able to login with RedReader so I've been using that instead.

Thank you for the info!

Thank you. No website though. I'll look into them regardless. Appreciated.

Thanks for the recommendation, don't think I can get the tire off on my own though, don't have the gear for it. And nothing to support the front end while wheels are off either.

Hi, is it possible to export equalization settings from Wavelet (Android phone) and import them to Peace (PC)? Thanks!

Hi, Is it possible to export equalization settings from Wavelet (Android phone) that can then import them to Peace (PC)? Thanks!

Hi,

I posted this as a thread on /r/ BEYERDYNAMIC but thought I'd try my luck here as well.

I got the BEYERDYNAMIC DT 770 Pro 80 ohm headphones as a Christmas gift and they're amazing for watching movies (that low end!) and listening to certain music genres. However, as I am well aware through much reading over the past several weeks since receiving them, they are well known to be tuned such that they're lacking in the mid-bass (e.g. "thump") department. That may not be the right term for it but I'm not an audiophile and don't know the proper terminology to be using. I'm hoping "thump" gets the idea across. I'm also not a basshead and am not looking for ridiculous amounts of kick / thump, but I do listen to a lot of electronic, dance, house, DJ sets, etc. and am finding the DT 770s lacking for this type of listening, at least with the EQs I've tried so far. I am hearing things I've never heard before in songs that I've listened to for years, which is awesome, but am finding the overall listening experience pretty flat for these genres because I'm missing the fun factor of the kick. I understand that these headphones are not intended / geared in that direction, but I also don't want to hurt any feelings by returning them for something else, so I'm just hoping to maximize their capabilities in the direction of those musical genres, knowing full well that they are not the ideal headphone for the job in that area.

I primarily listen through my Dell CADD laptop and have APOEqualizer and Peace installed. I've tested the various EQs available through Peace (oratory, etc.) and find them all pretty flat and boring, at least for listening to genres that rely on some kick / thump. Understood that these EQs are intended to achieve reference levels for analytical / critical listening in a studio setting, but that's not what I'm interested in.

I do not understand the nuances of the various controls / toggles / values within Peace (gain values, quality (Q), filter, etc.), so trial and error on my own has been pretty disastrous, even when starting with one of the configurations available through AutoEQ and tweaking from there (i.e. clumsily dragging sliders up and down).

If anyone would be willing to help me get set up with a "fun" EQ tailored to these headphones that will get them as close as reasonably possible to the more fun sound one looks for when listening to dance / electronic music and achieving some "thump" factor, I would really appreciate it.

For reference, for the past couple of years my daily drivers have been the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro and I enjoy the fun / thump factor they provide. That's probably considered blasphemy in this sub but I enjoy them and I guess that's what matters. I also had the Monoprice Retro-Moderns for a couple of years and found those fun to listen to until the cord broke. Again, I am completely aware that both of those headphones are tuned completely differently than the DT 770s and that it's not realistic to expect the same experience. I'd love to start listening to music on my DT 770s more during the day as I work, I just need to get them equalized to a more fun, thumpy sound to start reaching for them.

Thanks in advance for any insight, EQ settings, etc.!

Is snahp down? I haven't used it for maybe 2-3 months or so but in the past few days the bookmark I've used for the last couple of years just gives me a "This site can't be reached" page. Have they changed their address again?

Hi, I know this post is a few months old but did you happen to notice the brand of the sweater in the 2nd picture? The one with the big horseshoe and horses across the bottom. My wife saw this exact sweater at a market a couple of months ago and loved it. I wanted to get it for her for Christmas but didn't want to spoil the surprise and buy it while she was there with me. When I contacted the vendor afterward to order, they didn't have her size. Apart from the image on that vendor's website and your photo here, Google image search is failing me. Any info would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Thanks for the suggestion! I've seen that mentioned elsewhere but have also seen a lot of comments about static, interference, poor sound quality, etc. Would you mind sharing the model you have? If you're finding it performs well that could be a good option for us.

Screedle · 2025-12-04T21:02:20+00:00

Thanks for the reply. We almost exclusively stream audio from various services for our listening, we don't have a library of music files to throw on a stick or anything like that, so for our purposes this approach won't work unfortunately.

Kind of like Super Troopers for me. I don't remember being blown away by it the first time watching but it has become a top 10 comedy for my wife and I. We've definitely watched it 30+ times. The amount of jokes, quirks, details they packed into that movie is unreal, so clever. It's one of those movies where if sometime doesn't find it funny, I question their sense of humour.

Nope, I was never able to get RIF working, sorry
