The lens fits in the board just fine... And the Shutter release is lined up perfectly to trip the shutter.
It works fine, but the cable release "pops" out of the holder, which led me to believe a part was missing.
The shutter says "Linhof" on the front (not the board, but the shutter) so I think you may be mistaken about this.

You might need a cable release with an appropiate end so that it clicks into place securely. Releases do vary in design.
Scroll down the following page for a good explanation.

Linhof tested lenses in older Compur shutters had the Linhof logo on the shutter. That has nothing to do with the board.Originally Posted by SpeedGraphicMan
As I told you earlier, you are missing the correct PC contact so that lens and shutter were remounted in the board at some time. And you are correct, you are missing parts. But that is a service center matter and I can not remember seeing those parts for that old a system when we did the parts inventory last month. But you can send it to service to see.
As I told him earlier in this thread, the Cable Release Nipple is 041066 and is available from the service center.
As an added point, it works best on a Linhof cable release. Linhof does make one with no threads and the nipple built-in or you can use a regular Linhof cable release and add the nipple.
I got it working!
Works great now! Thanks all!

Should have told you that all you needed to do was wrap a 1/16" piece of Gaffers tape around the end of the release .., but I did not want to annoy our greatest contributor of All Things Linhof. Sincerely, he is total gold. 😁
