Vivitar VI enlarger - lens board needed

[jdhealey]

I tutor photography in two schools in Birmingham, UK, and in the second we have just reopened its darkroom which the students are really enjoying.

However we have Vivitar VI enlarger which is missing its lens board...for a 50mm lens, 39mm fit. I have a scan of what one looks like (kindly provided by a FADU member) , but before we go to the lengths of asking our DT workshop to try and make one, does anyone by any chance have an unwanted one that they'd be willing to donate? Thank you.

If so our address is King Edward VI Handsworth School, Rose Hill Road, Birmingham B21 9AR United Kingdom

Thank you

Dave Healey
