Durst enlarger

[Marco B]

Indeed a beast, but good to see you managed to fit it in there. Funny, you almost would think the enlarger supports the roof of the room. When the city centre of Maastricht and its buildings start sinking in a pit hole and collapsing like that shopping centre in Heerlen due to the old mining shafts, you know where to hide: under your enlarger's baseboard!

Yeah that would be a safe place indeed. As long as the authorities don't point the finger at me!

Hi ic-racer,

$ 1000 US ouch. I have a 300 head with 1000 watt lamps in it which came with lots of spare mirrors some of which were shot so I talked to a local mirror refurbishers and they did 5 for me at $ 25 NZ each which at that time was about 50 cents US to the NZ $. So just for once I am ahead ( the cost of chemicals here is outrageous ).

Does your head have the black heat heater bars wired in next to the lamps ?

Regards

Rob

Are those dichoric mirrors? The reflector in the CLS1840 and CLS2000 heads is more like this 'cold reflector': Dead Link Removed

It would be great to find a place to re-coat them.

No, in the CLS2000 head a little voltage (20V) is applied to the bulb to warm it up (less than needed to make it light up).
