Question about the Beseler 23C-III Colorhead

Hello all!

I purchased a Beseler 23C-III enlarger not too long ago and have been having a blast using a darkroom again. I wanted to start doing color prints but I cannot find a 23C-III color head in my price range. I found a Dual Dichro S colorhead in my price range that is compatible with the 23C-II model, but I was wondering if it would fit on my 23C-III. I found an old thread from a guy who asked the same question, and a guy who owned a website about enlargers answered him saying it should be possible, but I don’t want to purchase it if it won’t work with my enlarger. Anyone with some knowledge with this stuff able to help me out? Thanks

Welcome to Photrio.
Beseler are still in business - you might try reaching out to them.
My understanding is that they are a quite small organization now, and that they can be slow to respond to email, contact request on their website or phone message, but they usually do respond.
