Not at home to check my MK 1 (and use it far too little for such a nice camera), but isn't the black lever, just above the red circle the release for the tilt ?Originally Posted by huangjie

OK. I found the parts schematic for the Toyo 810M and looking at it closely there are obviously a host of spacer washers involved in gaining tension to the lower front standard section with a tightened knob. Could be a wild one, but if the original parts are unavailable at the service center in New Jersey it may be possible to get thicknesses of these various components and find a "substitute" to get this issue resolved. Have to do something in the resolution department as in its current state it is a decorative item.
Apologies. I should have included the parts descriptive listing as well.
There are two large buttons above the round knob. Press and hold them at the same time to tilt the panel back
This operation
Yes, the Japanese are bad and have a bad reputation
You are correct, but your problem is when you tilt forward, or backward by lifting the levers, the big round knob does not tighten /fix the position, right ?This operation

yes. The huge round knob doesn't work. It feels like a decoration.
My friend, do you have this camera, too?
