I was surfing thru a group of photo supply stores and came upon this. This company is in Canada but I'm sure they ship to Boston (01886) . Remember their prices are in Canadian funds which is at least 25% less than US---- http://store.khbphotografix.com/Bas...ardware-for-Omega-D-and-E-Enlargers-Used.html

Thanks. I'm aware of them but, at this point, not willing to spend about US$75 shipped.

The base plate is a nice thing to have but not necessary to mount the enlarger. I've mounted one of these to a home made baseboard with some t-nuts and hex bolts.

I was a bit concerned as to whether the bolt heads would have enough of a grip on the column mount. Did you use washers? If so, did you flatten one side a bit to get more "purchase" on the mount?

Yes I did use some large washers to grab onto the base. I believe that I may have filed hem down to give a flatfedge. Sorry I don't have pics and the Omega is in storage now.

Not a problem. Thanks.
