This Saunders LPL 670 VCCE enlarger is optimized for multigradatio n type papers. It allows to dial in different contrast grades while keeping the same exposure time. The unit and accessories are in very good condition. Aside from the enlarger, these items are also included in the sale:
- Nikon EL Nikkor 2.8/50mm enlarging lens
- 6x6 negative carrier
- 35mm negative carrier
- instruction manual
- original box.
I assembled the enlarger and tested that the lamp comes on, and I can see the contrast filters working when they are dialed in; white light also works. I don't have a silver printing darkroom anymore, so there isn't much more I can do in terms of testing. But it all seems to work just as intended. All you'd need to bring it into action is a timer, darkroom & printing material, and time...
Asking $250, and - due to size and weight - local San Francisco Bay Area pickup only.
Just a heads up - in the rest of the world (outside the USA) these are known as the LPL 7700.
They are a currently manufactured model, and are very nicely made. KHB has lots of info on them.
GLWS.
It dissembles quite nicely too. I bought one and it came in two boxes. The design is very nice and very easy to put back together. In case you want to change your mind and ship it.
