Sorry for the late reply. It is still available, but I have to wait for a reply from the first enquirer. I only read his mail just now. I thought I would get a notification about enquiries via my e-mail.

Here are some photos: you had specifically asked about the lens. When photographing, I lit it form underneath. You see a few "widgets" in there. Can't say it is dirt between the elements? I have read (Apug) that there are good Rodenstock lenses available. Still waiting for shipping costs. Thomas

I think I have to take my insert off the classified pages, because the freight costs to the USA would kill the deal. I see there are some similar items offered in the States, better get hold of one of these superbly engineered enlargers there. Some people on the APUG pages talk these enlargers down. It is true, that market forces dictate low prices, about 250 USD, when they really should fetch three times that much.

How do I take my offer out of the classifieds? It's the first time that I entered something
