Free Who Can I Give My Enlarger To?

OP, what city are you in? I'm in NYC with a car and willing to drive some distance or help arrange shipping.

I am in Dothan Alabama, willing to drive up to 2 hours to pass off the enlarger. Or possibly as far as Birmingham, but no farther.
I would be very glad to ship it to you if you would simply cover the cost of shipping plus a $10 convenience fee, and tell me how to disassemble and pack it to best protect it. I'm glad you replied because I was on the verge of giving it to a local thrift store. I just can't keep the little guy in here in my small cluttered house anymore.

As for shipping, I don't mind the hassle of disassembly/building a crate, as long as I could have someone help me figure out how to do it without breaking anything. I would be scared I would scratch the lens or something while trying to take it apart. . . .

Sold mine to a CL shopper in Washington D.C.
I got a guitar box from a local music store.
Made digital photos of the entire dis-assembly procedure for the new owner.
Shipping from West to East Coat was not too much via FedEx Ground to a local FedEx location near the new owner (not only is Home Delivery more costly but such a large package might entice 'Porch Pirates').

Is you model the one with condensors?

IF NOT you might just get a guitar box and leave the head in place. You may only need to remove the baseboard then wrap the head in alot of bubble wrap. Leave the lens on if it is secure unless it is an extremely valuable one.

If it IS a condenser model that glass should be removed then packaged in tissue paper then bubble wrap.

Someone here whom has one might want to add to or confirm this!

I don't know just how to PM you but I'm glad to help out with shipping.

@Noguchiboy Okay, let's try to get in touch over email and we can talk about it.
Shoot me an email at bronzanon@gmail.com. Thanks!

@sfphoto Thank you. . . I hesitate to say: I'm completely new to darkroom photography so I can't even identify if my model has the condenser. I can only give the information as seen in my original post, and send photos if someone wants to see them in order to more closely identify the model.
