it's gotta be that unseen linkage on the left side.

Be nice to have some pictures from the other angle and some close ups of the controls sticks in the center.

The only linkage I see on the far side is the main square strut and two round rods connecting the follower and the cutter, nothing attached to the two beds.
OK, now I see what you mean, you feel the end on the left side of the picture is hiding linkage to synchronize the bed tilts. Could be.

Me too. But they have to be connected somehow, which means they are connected on the other side of the plywood, where we can't see them. I'm imagining a gear attached to each pivoting rod, and a chain connecting those gears.
