Hello,
May anybody estimate a price for Beseler Dichro 45S Color Head? A local college is going to sell and I'm going to buy it, but nobody can't estimate the real price for today.
Conditions is working.
P.S. On eBay nobody sells a head at this moment.
A couple of factors need to be considered. One is location; values in the the US might well be different than in the Ukraine. Second is whether it's known working and has been cared for. $200 might be appropriate for a unit left unused and in storage for a while and $400 might be appropriate for a unit from a working darkroom that can be demonstrated to be working.
I'd also look at the age. Older units used an optoisolator that is no longer available and ages badly. Newer units have a different design. Search for 45s slow turn on. The rubber fan mounts also tend to turn to dust.
Prices have been mentioned above. Higher value in the newer designs.
Could you prompt me, please, what is the difference between old and new? I mean one or two noticeable differences that allow quickly to realize what it is a version.
There are 220V and 50 Hz in the EU and Ukraine. And I can remove old power stabilization and insert a one modern impulse power unit 220-24V for Osram lamp 93653 250 W 24 V.
