Beseler 23CII Dichro VS Beseler 23CIII Dichro

[jabe]

Hi,

I am in the market for a new color enlarger and have my eye on a brand new Beseler 23CII or a lightly used 23CIII for a higher price tag.

I can't find much info on any major differences between the 2 (I know if any, they are probably small tweaks)

Anyone have any insight into both and what the differences may be?

Thank you!

IMO, not much difference in the enlargers themselves, but possibly a big difference in the color head. It's hard to tell as some many of these have been pieced together.

This one is the latest version. Prior to that there was the Dual Dichro S (that has an integral power supply) and prior to that was the Dual Dichro (with a separate power supply).
