Want to Buy WTB 4x5 enlarger

[Fraunhofer]

Now, that I finally have a darkroom, I'd like to find a nice, complete and ready to go 4x5 enlarger.

I am not in a hurry and do not want to spend too much, after just having finished the darkroom, price range in the 3 digit dollars.

For the usual reason, I am not interested in getting it shipped, will pick up in a 200 mile radius around Roanoke, VA.

I have a motorized 4x5 Beseler color enlarger w/almost every carrier made for it--110, disc,4x5, etc. $200, but I'm a little farther away--Youngstown, Ohio. Takes 4hrs to drive from here to DC.

I have a Beseler MCRX condenser enlarger with a couple carriers for sale in your price range. I'm off I-95 near exit 107 in NC. Contact me for the particulars.

Keep an eye on Craigslist. I picked up my Beseler CB7 last year for $20.00!

Thanks, I may make it to Ohio in the summer and if I am still looking then, I'll come back to this offer.

Fine w/me.

What is mine, chopped liver?

 

[Fraunhofer]

In fact, I do like liver with onions.

Ohio is clearly out of driving range for now, so I replied to that one first.

In the mean time there was a local option I was exploring, which didn't pan out...

So yeah, I'd be interested in some details, like what model and what comes with it and price of course. Feel free to PM me.

I just came across this thread.
If you're still looking for an enlarger I might be able to help you out.
I can offer you Omega "D" with variable condenser and a 3 lens turret with 50mm, 80mm and 135mm Nikkor lenses.
I'm in Leesburg, VA but could possibly meet you somewhere on i-81

Sounds interesting, I'll PM you about details.

A shoutout to Fountain, he sold me a very nice D5 for a good price. Made test prints and am very happy.

My most favorite 4x5 enlarger was a Dursr L1200,whichI had to sell for€100 due to the lack of interested buyers.

I have an Omega D5 in good shape for free .... the lenses and carriers are another story ... Except I'm a 7 hour drive north of Toronto .... you'd have to come on a fishing trip.

Oh, if only I could use those AA miles this weekend! I would take that 12-hour flight in a heartbeat!

 

[Fraunhofer]

Fishing trip sounds great, just not sure a D5 would fit as carry-on

I have several friends in Roanoke ... maybe I can talk them into coming for a visit and sending it back with them ... Chitwood, White-Santos and Saunders ( no relation.) But I do see VA plates up here quite often in the summer.

Wish I'd known you were letting it go so cheaply.........I've managed to acquire 2x L1200's and an L1000.....just in case
