I have recently acquired a Beseler 23 CIIIXLI enlarger with the standard condenser head. I am thinking of fitting it with a cold head. Are the Zone VI cold heads compatible with the 23 CIII? I know they're compatible with the 23 CII series, but what about the 23 CIII?
Thanks very much for your input!

should be, the series is pretty much the same minus color, etc., but only if it is compatible with the 23 C's

As far as I know, all of the 23C series heads are interchangeable. I've got a 23C and a 23CII and they are virtually identical (other than color), and we have some 23CIIIs at work and they appear to be exactly the same as mine, although I have never compared them first hand.
