Hi all,
Just a quick question here to ask for some more knowledgeable input and/or experience.
A long while back at my thrift store I picked up an almost new-in-box Polish "Krokus 3 (Color)" enlarger with a working bulb. I got it to print some negatives from my Pentax 6x7 (instead of scanning) ... and now I have a Fujica G690 BL, so I really would like to go forward to this print project.
That bulb was a 150W which is the max for the enlarger without its extension tube and it just died. What are my other possible options aside from buying a similar bulb as a replacement? For a test, I put in an old IKEA 11W fluorescent type bulb and it did not look too bad with the test negative I had in the Krokus.
What could anyone suggest and thanks in advance for your input. Cheers, J
