That ain't no 8x10. Not by a long shot. What "massive size"? That's puny little thing, probably a 2 1/4 maybe. Somebody laid a piece of junk enlarger on its back and shot a picture of it. If any so-called massiveness in infered by that, then that's all there is. I wouldn't give that idea another thought. Look at the size of the focus knob. It's just a hand knob. Then start visualizing proportions based on that, if by no other method. 8x10? No way.
Would you maybe believe 4x5, perhaps 2 1/4 x 3 1/4. Camera angle makes it look larger than it probably is. It looks as if it might be a Dejur but I can't be sure. If it is and is usable in its current condition, it is not junk. Taking a long second look at it, I would leave it alone. That "C-clamp is a bad sign, Sorry!.....Regards!
It "is" a Testrite enlarger. With the 75mm lens it is probably one of their medium format enlargers. Small chance it is their 4x5 enlarger. It looks clean but what is the C-clamp doing? And where is the baseboard? They are not junk but are very basic and are useable if one learns how to work around their various quirks. But they are no match for today's rather full featured equipment. Howard
