I recently got a job lot that included 2 enlarger lenses mounted on circular lens boards. I thought these were Durst fit (they have the same chamfered disc design) but it seems they are smaller at just under 60mm diameter. Does anyone know which enlarger these would fit?

In case it's of use to others the enlarger boards I know of are:

78mm diameter with chamfered outer edge = Durst
84mm diameter with chamfered outer edge = LPL or Meopta
104mm diameter with 4 bayonet tabs = Fujimoto
114mm diameter with 2 cutouts = DeVere
4x4" square = Besser
73mm oval or circle with 2 screw slots = Omega
56mm diameter flange with 3 screws = Gnome

Thanks Mike

Great thought if there is compatibility, we should check it out. Do you have an LPL board to check? Here is the Philips:

These match my LPL boards - used with the 7700 enlargers.
And KHB's site indicates the same part numbers for the LPL 4x5 enlargers
Their measure is the same as is in the OP's listing in post 1 for LPL enlargers.
