Fujimoto Lucky 60M Enlarger Parts

[Christopher Walrath]

Hey, all. I'm gonna be printing in a couple of weeks. A few years ago I bid on and won a Lucky 60M. It came with the negative holder for 135 film and a 50mm 135 film enlarging lens. I found a 75mm MF lens on ebay just now and scarffed that up. I was wondering where I might find the following if any of you have ever found a good source for Fujimoto enlarging stuff.

Medium Format Neg holders
Light bulbs
Owner's manual (I know, I just like having them)

Any help would be appreciated.

Got the PM. It did sound like what I have. If you have the original base board that the mast bolts into it should have a model number, serial number, et. al, attached in the upper left corner.

At least, my 60M does.

If I recall correctly, that is one for which it is particularly easy to make a negative carrier. In addition, the enlarger was sold in this country by Bogen, among others.

I'll check out Bogen, John. Thanks. Seems as though there is a pair of carriers on ebay going off Sat night, one 35mm (would be a dup) and one 6x6. I don't care how much. THEY ARE MINE.........................

Looks like Fujimoto is still around making enlargers:

Oh, yeah. Still around but I'm a bit rusty on my Japenese.

I was trying to find that last night to no avail. That's awesome. Thanks. I feel even better it was someone from michigan that had to point it out to me, a Buckeye. I'll never tell a soul. (oops)

As far as I know, the Lucky 60M enlarger is pretty rare to see these days in the Japanese popular online auction (Yahoo Japan). And from what I've seen, I think the Bogen that you've been talking about is an OEM product by LPL, not Lucky/Fujimoto...

There was a Hanza 6x6 enlarger at some point, and that looks like another OEM stuff by LPL. So, you might wanna look for that one also.
