It's a heck of an enlarger and there were new cold light conversion kits you could get for it. You'd have to check if their still available in this economy. Google it.
Hi, I would stay away from the old cold light head. They tend to limit the contrast adjustment and range and provide inconsistent exposure, in my experience. I much prefer condenser.
Hi jamusu, yes you would have a diffusion enlarger (cold lite). I think your enlarger is a D2V,I have one also. V stands for variable,so you don't have separate sets of condensers for different film sizes. the top condenser can be moved to different positions to match film size. You Have the best of both worlds with one enlarger,multiformat ,condenser/cold lite. sweet deal. mike

As a new owner of a D6, I've spent a lot of time recently wandering through Harry Taylor's site. One of the interesting things about the Help forum, is noticing how many names you may recognize from APUG (John's included, if I am not mistaken).
Another great resource is Canadian - KHB Photographix. It is interesting how Harry will bounce a question to them on his forum, and how they will contribute there.
Technically, I guess they are competitors (some items, like manuals, are sold by both) but it seems to be a really healthy relationship between them.
I have a couple of things I'd like to buy that they both carry, and I'm torn. Due to the difference in the currencies, KHB is cheaper, but I'd like to support Harry too. I guess this is a question for the ethics forum.

If I switch to the cold light head would I in fact be using a diffusion enlarger instead of a condenser enlarger
