Leitz 2C Bowden Cable Connector

Finally getting my Leitz 2C enlarger up and back in use and had a question that I hope someone can assist with. Years ago I purchased a new Bowden Cable for the enlarger and I was trying to install it last night and realized that there are threads on the side of the enlarger that holds the Bowden Cable in place. Is the Bowden cable on this enlarger held in place with a threaded connector that the cable fits through that is screwed into the side of the enlarger ? If this is the case is there any resources to find this part as I am drawing a blank on where it could be?

Thanks in advance.
 
Michael, I don't own this enlarger but I took the time to locate the instruction manual online here. Page 8 of the pdf describes the hookup of the Bowden cable, if this is any help.

Wow!

My sincere thanks. The manual addresses my question and I need to find this attachment screw to affix the Bowden cable to the enlarger.

Cheers!
 
Michael,

Are you missing the threaded connecting parts on both ends of the cable? I know this sounds silly, but have you checked well if this/these part(s) are perhaps screwed into your enlarger? This being the logic place for them to be.

Ask this man, if you haven't yet: http://www.glennview.com/leitz.htm

If you have no luck, I can photograph this/these part(s) for you, so you can ask in the forums . . .
