Leaving for SS Lowe's demo in about 36 hours.
Thinking about adding 510 to 520 upgrade to the cart also.
I looked at the online pricing and found they have pre and post 1986.
I bought all from eBay separately and not sure what's the difference.
I have 3 end tables 2 floating tables and the main table.
Where is the difference found? Hopefully just the main table so I don't have a bunch of
miss-matched stuff that won't ever align.

Before I go to the demo what should I look at/for?

Pre 86 rails are secured to the tables by screws that screw into TAPPED holes in the table front/rear and have holes in the rails to provide access to the screws. The thumbscrews are small.

Post 86 rails are secured to the tables by studs attached to the rails that pass through holes in the table front/rear and are secured by nuts with captive lockwasher. No holes in the rail.

Thanks for clarifying that. Looks like my 510 upgrade is a post 86.
YeeHaw!
