I thought you might ask, after someone brought it up in the photo.net thread.
Just grip the two focussing knobs and give them a slight turn UPWARDS a half-turn or so and the front bed should unlatch. Make sure that when closing the camera back up again that you rack the focus rail all the way back and then move the front standard all the way back into the body. Then when the bed is back in the closed position, just turn the focus knobs DOWNWARDS a half-turn to latch the bed shut. So when opening/closing I think:

Open UP, Close DOWN

As for the cams, you could check with Midwest Photo, Fred Lustig or keep an eye open for them on eBay.

Reset ALL movements to their 0 or null position and secure, and set the standard lock. A shifted, tilted, raised standard, or standard lock left loose can allow the camera to close but jam preventing the camera from opening
