I have searched and searched and can't quite find a proper description, whether in pictures or words, of how to remove the condenser lenses of the 23C II for cleaning. Can anyone help? I just bought this enlarger which has been sitting in someone's garage for two years, so it's very, very dusty.

Push the bellows down and off the condenser housing, open up the flap above the condenser housing, pull the condenser housing forward to remove.

The condensers are held in with screws to keep them in place if the enlarger is used horizontally.
