I just purchased an RB67 Pro S with Pro SD 6x45 back attached. When I rotate the back, there is no click to hold it in the rotated position (neither landscape nor portrait clicks in place). Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Mine doesn't make a click, there's enough tension to hold it in place.
Ok, thank you!
There is a click spring for landscape and portrait on the rotating back. It is a subtle click, but it should be there.
Thank you for your reply -- That's what the manual seems to indicate, but mine has no click -- same with the 6x7 pro s back.
It stays in place by friction, but it can be easily rotated by accident.
If the revolving back does not click in place, the click spring(s) are broken. Not uncommon.
Although I don't hear an audible click with mine, it does make a definite sound of something locking into place, more of a clunk as it stops.
Worthy of note; the click spring isn't in the film carrier, but in the revolving adapter ("P mount" as I recall). This is a replaceable part (you'd remove it, for instance, to mount an Instax back). Try revolving it without the roll film carrier mounted to confirm.
