I'm looking for the height of the Beseler 45v-xl column including it's baseboard. I.E. from the table it's sitting on to the top of the column. I realize the head may extend beyond the column, but I need to know if this enlarger will fit in my darkroom. I'm not able to find online in a definitive fashion.

Thanks.

The Beseler 45V-XL has a 54" column height, with heights including various light housings to be 57"-64" total; the 45V-XL baseboard is stated as 1.5" thick.

Unless you have high celings, you will need to set the enlarger on a lower than usual work surface. In an apartment, I had my 45V-XL set on a somewhat low rolling TV cabinet in order to accomodate bringing the head up high.

Just what I'm looking for. I have 66" from my table surface to the ceiling. (Ceiling height is 8.5 ft.)

Thanks!
