Hi! Just picked up a nice 150mm componon. This one has a larger lens thread than i am familiar with. I think its 42mm.

Now i need a lens board for it. I have an omega D5500 with a turret. The turret actually takes round lens boards that are common on durst and other enlargers like lpl, philips, etc. (they are completely round and have a beveled edge instead of the earlier bayonet type boards)

I would like to buy one of these. I have a 39mm thread board if someone wants to trade.
 
The Durst and LPL lens boards I am familiar with are a different diameter, and the edge profile is different as well. The ones I've worked with are not interchangeable (boards for Durst and LPL 4x5 enlargers).
 
If you know someone with a lathe maybe you can talk them into cutting/threading the board you already have... or maybe someone on APUG or LFPF can do it for you for a nominal fee. If it's not M39 or M50 then I believe you'll need M42x.75 but you'll want to make sure of that.
 
Bdial you are right! I have my enlargers mixed up. its my 6x7 enlarger that uses the durst boards (an lpl)
My 4x5 is an omega d5500. It take some other style boards.
