I know I can order one from KHB in Canada, but have seen several dead links for a free PDF download.
I bought this enlarger about 2 years ago and had to put it into storage until today. Luckily, it seems all the flash tubes in the 4x5 head are working and the display is working, but I cannot grok how the other features work from just punching buttons. It came with a probe and foot switch, so it seems pretty complete from what I can read from various online posts.
I have also read how rare the flash tubes are and I am hesitant to get too attached to this enlarger, but it does seem to be a very interesting beast and I'd like to learn some of the advanced functions.
It might have a small electrical problem in that when you use the foot switch, it seems to lock up the controller, but then again, I don't know what I am doing...
If nothing else, the motorized chassis and enlarging lens was well worth what I paid for it, so I can always pop a new dichroic or cold head on it and still be very happy.
