I just got back my Linhof IV from having a new bellows and I was dismayed to find that there had been damage....
The plate that holds the sliding knob in place on the back is only made of plastic and had cracked on one side allowing the knob to come out as can be seen in the first picture
I don't think the repairer was in anyway responsible but while I'm waiting to hear back from him with any ideas about making a professional quality repair I've tried to fix it
first thing was to remove the platic plate and glue the pieces together so I could use it as a template to make a replacement part from aluminium sheet
sorry, the pics are a little small to keep the file size down
