Enlargers: Nuarc VV-1418?

[Logan Becker]

Just got this, can't find anything other than a few ebay sales on the web. Any information would be appreciated. also got some Kodak contact screens, which I'm not too sure on the function of.

It´s a camera not an enlarger!

It looks like it's in very good condition, I now understand what the 4 big lamps are for. Glass looks great and the boards move smoothly. I don't know what to do with it, I might sell it. what could the value of such an intricate thing be?

There's one for sale right now on the big auction website for $999, but how much it's worth is up for debate.

I understand it's a camera for pre-press work, and there's not much market for that kind of gear today. It could be useful for copying ULF negatives, though.

I guess it's the law of price versus demand...

I'll take some pictures tomorrow, it's a damned interesting thing

Many moons ago I picked up a mostly stripped Nuarc vertical camera. I cobbled together a back for film or paper up to 11X14 and had a lot of fun. The camera also served double duty as a poor-mans Lucigraf tracing machine. That ability got me through several years as an artist/illustrator.

Your Nuarc probably has a vacuum back. Did you get the pump as part of the deal? Enjoy!

Did you ever get this or even just take pictures of it?
