BTW: what is the going price for these used enlargers? It's pointless now, because I already paid, but just won't know who got the better of the deal...
Check eBay, there is a seller who regularly offers the instruction manual for the 45V-XL. It isn't the for the Dichro color head.
I paid $600 for mine a few month ago with a cold light head in addition to the standard head, a digital timer, 3 lenses, several negative carriers, an 11X14 Beseler easel and a bunch of other stuff. The seller was pleased with the money and I was pleased with the gear, so I guess it was a good deal for each of us.
