Elwood 8X10 neg carrier needed

JOSarff · Mar 27, 2009

I was recently given an Elwood 8X10 enlarger, sans negative carrier.

Anyone have an 8X10 carrier the aren't using? Or does anyone have a reasonable solution?

Thanks

Joe

They are basicly a shallow drawer made of wood with two sheets of glass to place the neg between. It usually comes with some masking blades too for other formats, which can be cut from black paper as needed. Find a woodworker who can piece one together for you with basic cabinetry skills, it will be constructed similar to a picture frame. It should be made long enough to extend from either side and high enough to fill the slot for it.

If you can find or make one, you might try http://www.skgrimes.com

I used to have an "Igor" (Elwood), seems to me the carrier was simple and you could make
one yourself if you have some basic woodworking skills.

looks like pgsys.com has a 5x7 carrier for an 8x10, glennview.com also has some Elwood stuff from time to time.
