    Linhof shutter release fix?

    I've just got hold of a really nice Tecninka V kit with 75mm , 150 and 270 lenses from another LFPFer.
    I have two problems to solve, easy and not so easy [I think].
    Easy?
    The 75mm f8 super angulon is on a recessed board which has a shutter release extension with a quick release mecahnism operated by a button, can't get either of the two cable releases I have on hand to lock into this, do I need some special Linhof type?
    Not so Easy?
    The 270mm f5.5 Tele Arton is in a compur shutter that works fine, however the nipple to screw in the cable release has come off in transit, leaving just a hole , seems to me I just need someone to install a new nipple [I have the old one , can't see how it was fixed though] any thoughts on how , were or who? I'm In France and Ireland .
    Shutter works fine with lever but would prefer to use cable.
    Thanks!

    For the 75 mm you need a small piece made by Linhof which screws on a standard cable. With that part on, the cable is pinched in the relase mechanism. The button is used to free the cable. It costs 10/12 € or so.

    First one is easy. You need the Linhof Cable Release nipple for a Linhof cable release. They are available from Linhof service. In the USA that is Marflex. 252 652-4401.
    The second is solved by a camera repair center. Marfex can also help you with this.

    Thanks Guys.
    My local camera reapir guy [Nice, France] went out of business a couple of years back so I'm going to have to send the 270mm somewhere to get it fixed, I guess it might as well go back to Munich.............
