Finding a color head and 6x6 mask for Durst M605

Fintan · Aug 1, 2008

I've added a second enlarger to the darkroom and am looking for a color head or a multigrade type head for the M605

I'm also looking for the negative insert for 6x6 for the negative carrier.

Nothing on ebay unfortunately.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks

Does anyone know a place that supply Durst parts?

You might try Nova darkroom as well if Northernphoto can't help. Nova used to keep "bits" for enlargers. I got a spare under-the-lens red filter there some two years ago. Best of luck

Northern dont have them, I'll try Nova tomorrow, I didn't realise they might do bits. Thanks.

You could try Bernard Hunter Photographic
246 North Street, Bedminster, Bristol, BS3 1JD

They have lots of old kit and I think I saw a durst M605 colour when I was last in there.

Just a thought on the 6x6 insert. If the worst comes to the worst and you cannot find an insert separately, then a machine shop should easily be able to produce one if you can obtain the measurements of an insert or better still borrow an insert and have a copy made.

I only have one insert which I use frequently, otherwise I'd send you mine to enable a copy to be made

I guess the colour head off my spare Durst would fit, it's an M601 with I think a CLS66, there must be a lot of them around. Unfortunately I'm keeping it, pending a possible darkroom facility where its warm

Thanks for all the replies, you guys are very helpful. I think I may have a 6x6 insert, will know next week for sure.
