B-22 vs. B-22XL column

I have a B-22XL enlarger that I need to convert into a B-22 (shorter column). Could one of my fellow APUGgers measure their B-22 column and let me know?

Ther reason for this odd request is that I was gifted a second B-22XL recently, and I need to fit it into a rather restricted space in the corner of my darkroom.

Mine measures 34 inches.

If we weren't so far apart, I would offer to trade with you.

My B22XL column seems to measure out at about three feet, 22 inches. Hard to get it exact because it's stuck back in a corner and is hard to get to.

Could you put it on a lower counter, or the floor?

Either offer it for trade or cut the top off. The top cap is screwed on so you can still have a nicely finished top.
