Hunter 37.5 Point Lookout, NY
Hunter Legend 37.5 1995. Has anyone had trouble with their dinette table getting stuck?

When I bought Dolcezza 10 years ago, the counterweight was frozen in place inside the steel tube and I couldn't budge it. So I disconnected the cord and always lifted the table without the counterweight assist. Not a big deal, it's not that heavy.

But now, I cannot move it at all, it's really stuck solidly in the down position. Has anybody had this problem and solved it?
