Trying to find a new home for these two enlargers, as I'm consolidating into just one (LPL 4500ii).

- Beseler 23CIII-XL Variable Contrast enlarger. The enlarger works beautifully and have used it for making lots of prints, no problems whatsoever. Comes with the standard baseboard, red safety filter, the owner's manual, 2 lens boards, as well as negative carriers for 35mm, 6x6, 6x7, and 6x9, and a set of under the lens filters if for some reason you don't want to use the variable contrast filtration. Also included is a grain focuser. I bought this enlarger from the original owner about a year ago now. Asking for $450 for the kit.

- SOLD LPL 4550 XLG enlarger. I bought this enlarger from the original owners, two former professional photographers, who bought it from K&S in Palo Alto, CA. I have not used this enlarger to make prints, but I did inspect that when enlarging a test target (Blads) 35mm negative to 16x20 it looks very sharp from corner to corner. It comes with the negative carrier, baseboard, power supply, as well as a freebie El Nikkor 135mm 5.6 mounted on a lens board (not shown in the photos). I'll throw in a free gralab 450 timer as well. $600 for this kit.

Due to the size of these enlargers, pick-up in Portland, OR only.

LPL enlarger sold. Bump on the Beseler with price reduction.
 
The Beseler 23CIII-XL is a wonderful enlarger for all roll film formats.
That VC head is a very useful and convenient addition!

It is!
Only reason I’m selling is I found an LPL4500ii which suits my wanting one enlarger to do every format I photograph - 35mm, 6x6 and 4x5.
