I've had a Durst M605 colour for quite a while and it's served me very well, although I often thought that I can't achieve a true grade 5 with it like I can with my old but small and wobbly condenser enlarger and have been considering hunting down a B+W head.
So imagine my luck when browsing that big auction website late last night I saw an M605 black and white head. It wasn't exactly cheap but it wasn't breaking the bank, so I snapped it up.
It was only this morning that I looked at the pictures properly and realised that the lamp has a different plug on the end, it has a slim two-pin plug (I'm not well versed on plug types but I think it's a type C) on the end while my enlarger timers both take sockets for three pin kettle style plugs. I'm in the UK and the unit is from Germany.
Would I be able to simply replace the plug on the end for one that fits my timer?
My other questions is whether I need to use a transformer? I currently use a Durst TRA-305n for the colour head, but I'm guessing it isn't required for the black and white head.
I probably won't have the unit until Tuesday but I'd like to get as much info as possible so I can get everything ready over the weekend.
Thanks
