Nizo handle lock repair

[woods01]

Any ideas on how to fix the lock that holds the handle in place on a Nizo Professional? All the parts seem to be there but the mechanism just won't grab. Is the handle lock the same on all Nizo models? I'm wondering about buying a beater camera on eBay to salvage parts. Thx!

It's either the hook or the part that the hook latches onto.
You should be able to determine which by close examination.
Something must be worn or deformed.
I have some junkers if you can determine what you need and which exact model it is.

Cheers,

I think it was the hook but I'd need a second look. It is not my camera, I am considering buying it. Its a Nizo Professional.

Unfortunately, those parts on the Nizo Professional are different from all other Nizos and are almost impossible to get.
