I seem to have acquired a collection of enlargers over the years so…
As I am having to do some serious downsizing due to an upcoming long distance move I need to let go of some things.
First up is a Durst 4x5 enlarger; I can’t remember what model it is now but it has a CLS 500 color head. It does not have the original baseboard rather a custom oversized one; when I say custom I mean big a.. piece of plywood.
It has been sitting in my garage for maybe 10 years so has gathered some dust etc and will need cleaning up and some lubrication. It was working but I think the bulb has blown now probably due to being knocked about a bit.

If anyone is interested in saving this enlarger it is yours for the taking but it is a bit of a beast so someone local to Tampa Bay Area would be best unless you are willing to pay for a custom box and UPS shipping which would be quite spendy.

I will see how this one goes before posting any others and other items I’ll have for sale.
If there is interest I can post a picture.

No takers so it pained me to take the chasis to the scrap metal dealer.
Apparently the chassis is worth about $6
I removed the head and may try to sell that so at least someone may get some benefit from it.
 
Is this sold or in the junk yard?

I have been looking for a CLS500 head. Will you ship?

Sorry, I should have updated the thread yesterday after I took the CLS head to the junk yard.
I know it’s criminal to junk such equipment but I’m in a time crunch to get stuff out of my house before a move.
