    8X10 ansco rise lock?

    I just got an Ansco 8X10.
    It has a geared front rise/fall, but there is no lock on that movement.
    Am i missing something?

    Try shifting the knobs sideways to lock.

    If it's the earlier version, you pull the knob out to unlock, and push in to lock.

    Even if the standard is locked, it won't support a heavy portrait lens very well.

    If it doesn't lock, the locking plate that engages the rise pinion gear is likely worn on one side, it can be removed and flipped over, (exposing the new side).

    The locking tab on the front standard is fine, but the lower screw that holds it in place is loose, i am guessing the wood there is stripped. I am not going to take that apart, as for now even though it is loose, the lock is holding fine with a 1mm drop after letting go of the knob. So - all is well.
