For Sale 8x10 " conversion durst 138s / G139

[sculptorBradP]

Would a German import of the Durst Laborator G 139 (13167) or (13028) B&W which has the long round cylinder two-prong 240 Volt plug connect with a plug type adaptor end female and function without issues connected on the other end male to a U.S.A. 30 Amp 250 Volt NEMA 6-30P 2P 3W Plug Straight Blade Industrial Grade Grounding Angle - (9630-P) - or 20 AMP plug? Is a frequency mismatch between the intended supplies (50Hz vs 60 Hz), solvable without internal electrical work? If only a lamp is being powered would that be possible without internal modification? Is the Durst Fan 300 for Durst CLS 300 Color Head & BWL Head on Durst Laborator 138S G139 also able to run on a 30 AMP or 20 AMP USA connection?

Hi Klauis, how do you extend the bellows coverage to 8x10, or do they already cover this on the Durst? I would love to convert my IFF Ampliator (see photo) to 18x24 but cannot see a way to get the extra bellows coverage. The size of the entire mount area is 18x24 but bellows coverage is way less. Thanks for any pointers here, Alan

 

[JeroenBouman]

Alan, take a closer look at the 8x10 head, more specifically at where the negative carrier sits. It's placed 6-7" higher than the original neg carrier, and so there's no need for extra bellows extension.

hi sculptor
i am not familiar with us standards. we use 50 hertz and 230volt.
i suggest you ask an electrician.
or the simple way, buy one of the kits in this thread. it saves you from difficulties in getting the right bulbs,
and if it is with CLS 301 it saves you from the heat and the noisy blower.

 

[claudius]

hi alan
jeroen nailed it right.
by the way, i had to google the enlarger ! it has similarities to older durst 4x5.

[alanbradford]

Excellent, had to be really. Could you send me a side on photo please and major dimensions, I am thinking this may adapt to my IFF without too many changes other than the base plate, although using the adapter plates for using the 5x7 carrier won't work for mine. Thanks, Alan

Hello Klaus, Would the 18x24 ( 8x10") conversion for a Durst G139 - also allow my continued use of both 4x5 and 5x7 without taking off the conversion - back to the regular setup head that is part of the standard G 139 B&W? Is there an option for the electrical connection and plug-compatible in U.S.A. ? , -Thank you

Hello Klaus, Thank you, Yes - this seems the way to resolve the issues .... Since your conversion kits does not need the blower, is it possible that only a simple plug type adaptor might be all that is required? How many Watts does your Conversion Kit use - the collective Watts for the Lamps / Lamp along with whatever else is utilizing Watts collectively?

sculptor.
when using my kit you do not have to worry on watt, amp and volts - it has the power pack included ,
the kit is ready to use when a proper connection for the wall socket is mounted on the kits wire.
if you wish to use the device for a smaller neg. format than 8x10 you change to the original durst film holder
and use the supplied light trap in place of the 8x10 film holder.
no need to change anything else.
and all that you are going to need for setting up is included.
only you have to make the cutout as described in the beginning of this thread.

i forgot to mention that the kit uses ca 150 w on leds. very small power consumption. dont worry.
att. a picture on how it looks after the cutout is made,
( it is the durst film holder assy. bay you see, take off the durst light head and it is clear what i mean.)

Hello Klaus,

You mention in your original post that included is a light seal to replace 8x10 filmholder when one uses the original 138 5x7 holder.
1- Do I understand then correctly that it is possible to use the original holder for 5x7 and 4x5 etc without reinstalling the 138 head?
2-If so, at which position is the neg holder then installed?
3- And looking at the pictures, to insert the 8x10 holder one has to unlatch the light source?

Thanks a lot
Michael

 

[claudius]

you get a mdf adapter plate that sits in place of the original 5x7 holder.
for smaller formats than 8x10.replace the 5x7 holder
very simple, and use the light head for all formats.

I checked twice to see if someone had asked my question before and, amazingly, no one has!
Can you make a similar kit for a Beseler 4x5 enlarger? I am sure there will be some customers for it, including myself.
Thanks
Gaston

 

[mitch brown]

yes he can as i have it . its great

Is a frequency mismatch between the intended supplies (50Hz vs 60 Hz), solvable without internal electrical work? If only a lamp is being powered would that be possible without internal modification? Is the Durst Fan 300 for Durst CLS 300 Color Head & BWL Head on Durst Laborator 138S G139 also able to run on a 30 AMP or 20 AMP USA connection?

In Europe 230V is single phase and in the Americas 230V is dual phase. They are not interchangeable. If you plug a 230V European plug in a 230V American plug you may not like the results.
I am not sure if the drivers for the LED light are interchangeable between 120 and 230 single phase. This should be easy to find out by looking at the electrical specifications.

 

[claudius]

the power supply for the led's are universal single phase ( 90- 250v )

Hi, are you also still selling the 8x10 conversion for the Durst 138? And if so, how would I go about ordering it?

 

[sculptorBradP]

Hello Claudius, I finally have a DURST 138 5x7 Enlarger W/CLS-301 Color Head to use with a Linhof Kardan GTL 4X5. Recently I received a Linhof Kardan Color 8x10 (1962 late model) view camera. (#1.) In order to still use the DURST 138 5x7 Enlarger with the option of continuing to attach the W/CLS-301 Color Head, does it seem a good idea to expect to change regularly between your 8x10 head, and the W/CLS-301 Color Head? (#2.) Or would it be better to purchase a second Durst L 138, OR Durst G 139 to convert using your 8x10 head? (#3.) With the Corona Covid-19 Virus and variants still happening, is your 8x10 head available to purchase? , - Thanks, - Brad

 

[claudius]

hi brad
switching between the cls 301 and the 8x10 head only takes 5 - 10 minutes, but if you have the room for an extra 138/139, it is up to you.
i would go for the 139 as it is far more stable.

i have people on a waiting list for the new batch that is in order by the lazer cutter and metal bender workshop. hope they will be ready this summer.

if you want me to put you on the waiting list
send me PM or mail : claudius123@gmail.com

Hello Klaus,

Thank you, Yes I would like to be on your waiting list for the 8x10 " conversion durst 138s / G139 . How do I pay you when that time arrives? Also what might be an estimated cost for the shipping to Baltimore, Maryland, USA? The purchase of a G 139 would be the way to go then.

All the best, - Brad,
