Here is the first of the interlocks.
Stainless steel push rod (pr) is attached by a thread to the toggle handle that locks the table to the DP column.
MI - Mains in
MO = Mains out
MS - Main switch
mS = Micro switch
PR -= Power resistors for the LED.

When table is locked by toggle handle "pr" is "in" and de-activates the micro switch - cutting power to the linear actuator
Below show the main power switch and the LED indicator.
When the red LED is showing this means it's safe to use the actuator. (Yeah I know should have use a green one but I have heaps of reds - may swap it around one day)

Here what it will look like behind the DP table in its normal position.

All done. Well enough to be able to use it anyway.
Still deciding what to do about the potter interlock and the pressure switch up/down. Kinda like the quirky nature of how they are - might leave them as they are for a while.
