I am looking to buy a piece of heat absorbing glass because I "think" that my negative is popping in my 23CII enlarger.
The correct PN is #8042 and is 6" x 6" in side, however, on ebay there is one for half price with the PN #8826. It is also 6" x 6" so it would seem like it would work; if fits in the tray above the filter holder slot. Here is what it says about it:
DESCRIPTION: From the inventory of a recently closed camera store a new old stock new in factory envelope Beseler 8826 6" x 6" square x 1/8" thick heat absorbing glass. Unfortunately we can't tell for certain what Beseler enlarger/s this fits but we are guessing one or more of the 45 series but it is the same dimensions as the #8042 for the 23C series. If anyone knows for sure what this fits please let us know.
Does anyone here know for certain?
