[CAUT] Fall board

[Daniel Gurnee]

David Porritt,

I have eliminated the buzz two ways:  1. On those hinges where the  
hinge pin is removable, pull the pin and bend it slightly and  
reassemble, 2. Loosen the screws on one flap and place under that  
flap at one end a piece of blackened cardboard (cereal box thickness)  
and retighten placing a bind on the hinge pin.
