Vivitar VI

: Hi Forum ,

I am new to the forum... I am trying to build by small home darkroom. I bought a Vivitar VI enlarger over the ebay. It seems to work ... I can see the "light"

I have one small issue. I have lost the spacers (I am trying to find them for almost a week now) that are used to keep apart the two condensers glasses..Please have a look on the attached photo. Does anyone know where I can find replacments ? or if anyone has them can the post dimensions (maybe I can 3D print them)

Thx

If someone has the dimensions it might*(?) be faster to print them. Otherwise, check the bay.



*I claim total ignorance of 3D how to!

Hi ,

Yes, I agree... but I don't have the dimensions /design ...and I cant find any info on the net.

It's really annoying when you lose or put down and can't find something small that is so necessary!

I've been racking my brain, but I reckon it could be possible to use something else, for all they are are spacers = presumably to keep the two condensers separated slightly? I'm thinking even some folded mount board or something might at least do a temporary repair?

it is ... I actually had the same thought ... I will try to create something from paper during the weekend .....

hopefully, at some point, I will find the dimensions and 3D print them!
