A / Pivot clearance

Hinge pin / moving lug / cheek brackets

Pivot section showing cheek brackets, moving lug, pin and visible side gaps.
Section detail / illustrative geometry, not a scaled measurement.

Is the apparent side movement caused by clearance at the pivot or by another joint?

G-A / illustrative no-load hand check
In the fictional no-load hand check, the board shifts slightly sideways before rotating. The section sketch shows a visible gap either side of the moving lug.
What this does not establish
The sketch and observation do not measure the gap, locate all play, establish tolerance or predict wear.
Still unknown
Actual pin diameter, hole sizes, axial stack and where movement originates remain unmeasured.
