For Sale FS/ Beseler 57MVT Enlarger

[rmann]

For Sale: BESELER 57MVT 5x7 Floor Standing Enlarger

As Is - Must be picked up on Long Island, New York - Asking $250

It is 81 inches high (because I removed the reflector head - details below) and weighs about 200 pounds. It does not come apart very quickly, so a van or pick up truck would be needed to move this.

OR

Will Sell Parts and would consider shipping depending on size and weight of package.

Problem: This is a motorized enlarger, the head is raised or lowered by a motor/gearbox. The gears are stripped, it does not move. The motor is working. I have decided to not try to rebuild the gear box, or to try to convert it to manual operation. The gear box is inside assembly #4 in the diagram.

Not included - it does not have a light source. I have been using an LED head that I built to replace the factory reflector / bulb set up. I will be keeping the LED head.

Also, it does not have the intermediate table (#11 in the diagram) - also because I made one and intend to keep it. It does have the hardware for this part, so what you would need is a piece of MFD or plywood to make one.

The vignett-o-flex stage does not have a light source - when I got it the wiring was rotten, so I removed it. It does have the vignett-o-flex stage so you can do vignetting with a white border.

The factory forced air cooling system has been removed, I did not need it with an LED head.

Bellows are new within the last year - made by Camera Bellows in the UK


IF NO ONE WANTS THE ENTIRE MACHINE I HAVE THESE EXTRAS I WOULD SELL SEPARATELY:

I have the Vignett-o-flex insert with a full masking set - $50

I have 3 factory lensboards - $10 each

I have a factory glass 5x7 negative carrier - $50

Bellows Set - $100

I can send detailed photos to anyone by email -

Not sure if you have this anymore, but I'm searching for a diffusing filter assembly for my Beseler 57MVT "Vingett-O-Flex" enlarger. The way the original light source is designed it creates a hot spot when enlarging or contact printing. An LED source would be nice as well, but the part I'm looking for

is the center weighted diffusion filter that causes the light to be even with the current (dome) light source. It's part #6 in the attached picture. Anyone have this?
