Hi. Newbie here. Couldn't find a solution to the above by searching forum, but hope one of you might have a suggestion towards a fix.
The lens(es) don't lock in place, but the focussing works properly when they are held in place. I know the camera is not worth much but it is worth a go at a fix.
Update number one. Stubbornness has made me have a further look after a while away from the camera. I noticed the lens release tab was loose. Fiddled around and it may be the problem. A quick trip to the hardware store tomorrow for jewellers screwdrivers and Loctite and I'll see what happens.

Thanks. Found them late last night. Food for thought. Lens is not loose in the way described on the page hotlinked, but it is a great site.

Made the mistake of buying the shutter-speed app, a great tool, but it showed that all the shutter speeds selected were operating actually at 1/30 sec. It is also difficult to change the speed, whether cocked or not.
If anyone in Australia wants a project it's yours for the postage cost. It was just a curiosity buy, I have my Nikon S2 for pics.
