Yes, my 201 cabinet has that pop-out supporter type thing for the left wing on the cabinet, but this one does not. It just has the three mounting hinges that I guess are sprung. I just can't understand both ends being that way--I kinda can see the long one, because it is really heavy, but it is also really slanted. For my sewing the other day, I just set the ironing board close enough to the machine to hold it up. And didn't raise the other end at all. I am going to put the DH to work on it next week. I have run copies of Joe's fix--thanks, Joe.
