Is this kiln dried lumber?  It could just be lumber drying out.

Easy fix.
Remove 1 leg!
No wobble.
I long for the days when Coke was a soft drink, and Black and Decker was a quality tool.

If it doesn't wobble and I tighten the top to the previous apron, then it's the apron. Correct?

Your proposed experiment may help.

I'd be turning the top upside-down on a pair of sawhorses and trying to see what is going on -- either with straightedges and winding sticks or with the base itself.

You can get these on line in lots of 100 pieces for about 40¢ each--about $1.60 per table.
