The only flaw or imperfection is a tiny, narrow 1/4 long dent on the top left rear surface of the baseboard.
The Rolls-Royce of 4X5 enlargers for the discerning professional photographer. Considered to be the finest enlarger ever made. Fully equipped to print film sizes 35 mm, 6 X 7 cm, 6 X 9 cm and 4 X 5 inches. Stepless density control over a range of two f-stops. Used with TLC in private home darkroom from 1998 until 2007 when problems procuring Ilfochrome media and chemistry necessitated a switch to Epson. Stored covered in conditioned space since then and fully operational with smooth controls. Finally willing to part with this mechanical masterpiece because my wife and I will be relocating to another city in mid-September.
