I was given this and have decided I don't want this level of complication in my darkroom. This is certainly not your average enlarger and requires a bit of calibration for it to work.
It's heavy, so obviously I won't even consider shipping.
Does it work? I'm not sure. It turns on... Hey, its free.
Located NW of Houston TX

It was too sweet to pass up and at least give a try. It also came with a Durst 5x7 enlarger (which is NOT being given away!) and much much more.... 2 pickup truck loads worth.

FWIW it's not complicated at all for B&W work. A friend of mine made a document on how to use it for only B&W. I will share and or post it on my site if anyone is curious. Basically you set the densitometer for B&W, back off all the color filters with a screw driver, then program the channels for specific lens type and contrast filters that you put on top of the light box. Once done you get a usable print on the first try.

Ok someone else PM'd me too, so I will do a blog and insert the document. It may take a few days, but I'll get it done this week. I'll post a link here and make a thread when it's up.
