Many of those leg locks are adjustable for tension.

I have the same model tripod that you refer to. I seem to recall paying about $58 for it back in the late seventies/early eighties. It suffers from the same problem as yours, except that none of the legs lock securely anymore. My solution is only to use it in one location so that portability is not required and to permanently lock the legs with duct tape. I have purchased a new tripod for general use.
