Sold Omega D5 XL With Dichro Head and second one regular height D5 with condensor head

[mwdake]

Here’s FREE enlarger #2, haven’t had much luck with #1 so hoping this one generates a bit more interest.

Offered for local pick up only in the Tampa Bay area.
Enlarger is an Omega D5 XL that comes complete with Omega Color head, Chromegatrol unit and baseboard.
It has been sitting in my garage for quite some time so will need a clean up and probably some lube to the slidy bits.
Head and baseboard are detached but comes with all the correct arms and bits needed to reassemble; I can put it back together if needed.

Updated to add a second D5

The second D5 is regular height and has a condensor head. This one has been stored in my garage but covered.
I can post some photos of the second one if there is any interest.

If I weren't 10 hrs away I would grab it.

I just dropped off the XL with dichro head at the junk yard this morning.
Such a shame I couldn’t find a new home for it and it pained me to junk it.

The regular height D5 with condenser head is still available for now if there is any interest.

Man, I wish.

Did you see the Durst 1200 with the CLS 500 head that I also posted that also suffered the same fate?
That one was one to drool over.

There's nothing like a Goodwill store there you could've brought it to? Listing it as free for pickup on Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace?

Tried CraigsList and FB but no takers.
All my smaller enlargers, Durst, LPL, Vivitar, Omega went to Salvation Army along with 6 SUV loads of other stuff.

Fair enough. I sold a D2 on Facebook marketplace - and it took about 2 months for someone to want to buy it. There aren't many people looking. But there also aren't many that are being sold that are worth buying.

I tried to give a Focomat with an Ilford head to Goodwill a few years ago.
They refused to take it.

Goodwill can be picky. Salvation Army take anything it seems evidenced by the large dumpsters off to the side full of what looks like stuff that should have gone in the trash.

Took the D5 and a Vivitar VI to the Salvation Army.
The guy at the donations drive through said ‘I don’t think we take those things’; as he sounded unsure I asked him to go ask. He came back and said the boss said yes we do.
I hope they find their way to someone who will get some use out of them.

I'm glad they took them. I've seen Beseler and Vivitar enlargers at Salvation Army before. They get bought. Someone will show up and be very happy to see one of them. I'd have trouble not buying the D5, for instance.
