I may be missing something very basic here...
Linhof Super Technika IV. This camera is on loan to me (semi-permanent?). Has 1 cam for rangefinder function. When I rack the front standard out and drop the bed, the cam (which is on a spring-loaded, hinged device) springs up and gets in the way of camera adjustments, ie. it requires a fair amount of minding when my attention is focused elsewhere. Is there a minimally invasive way to disable this? I pulled the cam out (thinking that might help), but the hinged device (receptor) causes it's own interferences. I'm not using the rangefinder functions, and I don't wish to extensively modify the camera.
Any simple suggestions are greatly appreciated?
