Back came off camera

[Michael2710]

The back came off my camera, a Calumet 4x5 and I am not sure hoe=w to put it back on. Appears the hooks are not connected to the spring???

Google is your friend.

This one is also a good instruction manual for any view camera with front and back swings and front and back rise and fall:

Here's a magazine review from 1962. The camera was $89.95 out the door...

We'll need pictures in order to be of much help.

Check this out to see if you are having the same problem.
If so, I posted instructions on how to fix it. (and don't pull the back out that far again)
