Can anyone familiar with these two enlargers confirm that the mixing boxes for an Durst AC800 be used with a Durst M805 color enlarger?
I am looking to purchase a M805 color locally but it only includes a 35mm mixing box. I see an AC800 6x9 mixing box on the the big auction site and before I take the plunge, I want to verify compatibility. Thanks for the help.
 
I have a Durst AC800 and checked the mixing box - a Bimicon 80 - designed for the M805 in the AC800 and it fit perfectly. I also checked a Durst price list and they show the M805 using a Bimabox and the AC800 using the AC800 Box. They use different negative carriers but have the same inserts and glass so I would expect that the AC800 mixing box would fit your M805. For $20 or so I don't think you could go wrong with it. You could also try the following web site as he has had a Bimabox 66 listed with no bids and may have a 69 in stock as well. He also has manuals for most Durst products as well.
