It is finally time to clean out the rest of my darkroom stuff from storage. For sale is my Durst Pictochom CL Enlarger. I am asking $2000, OBO.
I cannot ship this, as it is too big and I have no idea how to pack something like this. Local pickup can be arranged - I am in the Southern California area. The enlarger is built like a tank, and is almost as heavy as one! You will not be able to transport/move this by yourself – it requires two (possibly three) people to lift and carry.
I'm unable to make a test print with it, as I no longer have a darkroom - the enlarger has been in storage for the past 25 years. To test: the enlarger lights up, the lamp glows, the motorized filters move in and out based on control panel input, fine focus wand turns, bellows expands, auto-mechanical shutter fires, and the head raises and lowers. I'm pretty sure that is everything short of exposing onto paper.
Included:
* Enlarger, controller, baseboard (roughly 24"x24" workable space), mounting bolts, and instruction manual
* 6x7 mixing chamber (although this is a large format enlarger, I do not have the 4x5 mixing chamber - one pops up on eBay now and then)
* Femomask 450 (will require an aforementioned 4x5 mixing chamber)
* Femomask 67N
* Femomask 66N
* Femomask 35N
* Femoneg (the Femomask holder)
* Setopia and Lapla threaded enlarger lens mounts (enlarger lens is not included)
