Anyone use a Beseler Universal Anti-Newton neg holder?

Hola,
Anyone use one of these things? It can cover 6x9 for the Beseler 23C model. Just wondering if I can get full frame 6x6 and 6x9 on them. I usually need to file my holders to get that but wondering what the tolerances are to these holders. Hmmm, I wonder if I can take the glass out, file it and put it back. I don't really know how these things are put together.

Filing glass is not an easy proposition, I can guarantee you that, and if you break a piece of optical newton glass, your pocket book may hurt as well.

Oh, I meant taking the glass out, filing the neg holder, and putting the glass back in. I don't know if these things are permanently on the holder or if it can come out.

Hi, you can take the glass out. It can print full frame of 6x6, not sure about the long dimension for 6x9.

By the way where can you find these neg holders I've been wanting one but I didn't see them on B+H's site.

I must be going blind. Thanks Eric.

I have the one for 4X5. It lasted 2 weeks before I broke the glass and my butt still hurts from the replacement cost,Dave was right. When I replaced it I checked and the hinge was too tight causing the upper glass to flex. I adjusted (bent) the hinge to relieve the pressure. The glass also has to be registered to each other so that contact will be even.
