I have some 8x10 Fidelity Elite film holders less than a year old with loose dark-slide locks. These are the L-shaped rods that you rotate to keep from inadvertantly withdrawing the dark slide. It seems to me that many years ago they simply screwed into place with a standard helical thread so that you could remove them when loose and put something on the threads to tighten them back up. The locks on these new holders rotate but are not removable by unscrewing. Anyone have good ideas as to how to tighten them? I haven't yet had a disaster but one is just waiting to happen.
