I am "refurbishing" a recently acquired Agfa Ansco Commercial View camera which has been partially rebuilt to eliminate rise and fall and tilt controls. In order to get as much usability from the camera in the short term, before getting into rebuilding the front standard to accept the tilt hardware, I am trying to get the front rise and fall controls working. While the geared controls function, there is no lock on the rise, so the lensboard drifts downwards. In the focusing mechanism, there is always a lock. Is there one on the rise and fall control and I can't find it? Any comments gratefully received.
