My problem is just the opposite - the screw holding the basket to one of my
baseplates is so Godawful tight that I can't get it out in order to transfer
the basket to a rapid winder.;-)

Thanks for this tip.  However I've been using the RW
a lot since last Oct and the screw you mention hasn't
loosened a bit in all that time (I just checked).

Also, Leica don't use LocTite to hold the screw in
place on the baseplate, so I guess it's just a case
of screwing the thing down and forgetting about it!

Regds,
