hello!

I work at a second hand store and today we got in a color head enlarger - or at least I think it's a color head enlarger. I tried googling Super Chromega and found plenty, but I didn't find any manuals or pictures that look like the head/lamphouse on it. Does anybody know what model this is?

I can get more pictures if necessary.

Yah, I have one. It's one of Omega's first color heads. The three nobs on Rosey's head adjust the mixing box, and the rolling wheelees show the settings. The ears are the lamp houses and they take little dc halogen lights, which can be a bit hard to find, so if you grab it find some bulbs and stock up. It's a good enlarger, nice and stable (tho that one looks rough) but a little slow (not overly bright). When used for split grade or multigrade printing it is quick to adjust.
 
Looks like an early D2 with one of the earliest version of the color head. The power supply for te head looks to be in very rough shape. Be careful.
