Durst AC-1201 Manual

[trickofthebrain]

Hi, I have recently acquired a Durst AC-1201 enlarger and I am in desperate need of an operating manual. If anyone out there has a copy your help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I have the manual for the Durst Laborator 1200, which covers the Condenser, Color and Variable Contrast enlarger heads. It’s a digital file, 20meg. Let me know if this is what you need. Might be too large to email, so not sure how to send it, so let me know if you have any suggestions on that.

Yes please, I think it might be okay to email or if you are able to provide a link to it maybe? Other than I'm not sure how you can send it.
Thanks anyway!

The AC1201 is not a common enlarger.

It's based on the L1200 chassis, but the head and controller are quite rare nowadays.

I'd love to get hold of the head/controller manual like the OP.

I have the (nearly the same) AC1200 and manuals - If I get a chance I'll scan them and put them somewhere downloadable...

I had a PDF of the operating manual as it happens! I've popped it on dropbox here if that's useful for anyone!

Hi Marc. I have access to a Durst AC 1201 and although I am well versed in manual color processing of both slides and negatives I am having trouble understanding the workflow with the controller despite reading the instruction manual. The first problem is that I don't know how to use the color analyzer probe or if it doesn't work because it always indicates Y 128 sec.
If you use the analyzer, could you tell me in a brief way the steps to follow to make a measurement and see if everything is working?
Thank you.

Hi Pedro. I only print B&W at this time, so I've only used the 'timer' function!!! One day I'll process colour, and I expect it will take me a great deal of time to figure out the workflow, even with the manual...

Marc!
