I just got a Sinar P-Series. The knob that adjusts the height of the standard does not work on one of the standards. To make matters worse, I started adjusting the knob on the other standard to see how it operates and, unfortunately, it stopped working, too.
I took the camera to my local shop that deals in large format equipment. The person behind the counter told me to remove the rubber around the circumfirence of the knob and that there would be a allen key screw tensioner screw that I could adjust. I did as he said, but there is not a screw under the rubber.
Any ideas on this one? I cannot figure out how to remove the knobs or how the assembly comes apart. I realize that the gears may be stripped, but if there is a tensioner, I would like to try that first.
Any help anyone can provide would be..... well, .... helpful.
Thanks!
