Disassembly of Meopta Opemus 5A Head

[Yamaotoko]

Hi all,

Just a quick question for anyone with one of these enlargers. I have an Opemus 5A for small format enlarging, after a post the other day about the fine-focus feature, I had to check it out. In pulling the lamp house off I noticed the condensers were looking a little sad (possible condensation between them), but couldn't see a way to slide them out easily without dismantling the whole head.

Of course, the manual is nowhere to be found online unless you want to buy one, which just for a query like this, I don't really feel the need.

So, can anyone who owns (or has in the past used) one of these units give me a clue as to how to remove the condensers?

Thanks in advance.

Steve, I haven't disassembled the condensers of this enlarger, but here's the manual. Good luck!
