Want to Buy WTB 6x9 Enlarger in/around Montreal, Quebec

[gijsbert]

Would be nice to get a working setup with negative carrier (and diffuser if needed) and matching lens for 6x9 or 6x7, but at least those could be sourced elsewhere without large shipping costs.

Ja, ben van plan die te gaan bekijken, maar er is niet veel keus op het moment (een paar maanden geleden waren er meer opties) en misschien zijn apuggers die vergroters kwijt willen. Ik moet ook eens op kijiji ottawa kijken, dat is niet al te ver weg.
Bedankt.

That one is sold, and I think that one is huge.
I know a lot of enlarger discussions suggest getting a 4x5, and that would be great, but I don't have that much space.
There is also a Durst Laborator 54 on kijiji, but seems kinda old and has no accessories...

The Durst 138 is not so huge... but all sold now.
Contact Bogdan, he might have some small enlargers for free, a lot of his friends give it to him when they know he still do darkroom, see his message here (there was a url link here which no longer exists)
I saw actually on Kijiji a Beseler 23C XL at 25$ # 1056608731. I have extra carriers and lensboard for this model if it didn't came with the enlarger.
Good luck.

Edit
See some others interesting on kijiji
the Blue Beseler is well equiped 1067921710 at 120$
or the Omega 1086113167 80$ but cannot see the exact model.
the durst 54 look to be a repro system not really an enlarger.

Thanks for the links and info, I'll contact Bogdan.
I want to setup a small darkroom in a walk in closet in my apartment so I worry about size and all.
But I should really go see one of these Beseler 23C's (XL) to see how big they are, can't really go wrong for 25$!

Also, from reading apug and other sources I was under the impression that diffuser heads are easier to use (albeit less contrasty) and I have only seen 23C's with condensers.

If you prefer to work in diffuse light, the Omega with the color head will be a good choice, ads 1086113167, I think he give 2 enlargers for 80$! Contact all sellers, you will see what it is still available.
The Beseler 23C have also a color head option and cold light but it will cost you more in parts than the whole enlargers listed on Kijiji. The 23C XL is the same model than the regular but with an higher column.
See what Bogdan have too.

Ginette, thanks for letting Bogdan know, he has contacted me.
