I just acquired one of these this summer from a retired photography teacher, I am looking for a Manuel, copied or original. it has the beseler agfa color head, but it's missing the white glass on the bottom. does any one know what I need to replace this ?
this is my first enlarger so I know very little on how these work








 
wow, thanks for the fast replies folks
I seen this yesterday https://www.photo.net/discuss/threads/unknown-old-instrument.392304/
the thread shows a manuel, but I cannot create an account for some reason so I can ask the fellow if he can give me some info of what he has.

If you have the lens panel, lens bellows, negative stage, and the bellows above the negative stage, which should end in a circular mount with two sliding lock bars on top, then you might do better to hunt up a standard condenser head or 45s head for it. Is the Agfa head actually working?
Look at the MXT manual.
 

I will get some pics and post, im snowed in at the moment lol
yes the agfa is working, it is missing the white bottom glass, I don't know what type of glass ( thickness or density ) to replace it with .
I do have a beseler dg-1 dichro head as well as an lektra fh-22 filter head I guess is for B&W which right now is what im doing most of.
