Aristo D57 enlarger - replacement needed

[Minkovich]

My Aristo D57 just broke and I am out of business. Does anyone know of a used unit that I might be able to purchase? Many thanks.

Scuttlebutt is that an Artograph or similar modern LED lightpad or slide viewer may be adaptable as an enlarger light source.
I've not tried it yet but will consider when my 5X7 Aristo head fails. Anyone tried one yet?

Did you check the link below? The lamp on my 1414 Aristo head shattered in transit and they made a new one for me.

Yes, I did it on my Omega F and worked fine. Spaced the light panel off with a 1” picture frame and laid the LED panel on top of the neg carrier with some Rosco diffusion to even out the light.
