Want to Buy WTB: Omega D5/D5XL wall mount

[anikin]

I'd like to move my enlarger from its present location and mount it to a wall. If anybody has a spare wall mount for this enlarger, please let me know.

Eugene.

Hi, Anikin. My D5XL is wall mounted, but I did not know there was an actual product for this purpose. My mount is simply a small but extremely beefy shelf, painted black and drilled into the studs. Two light guide cables with adjustable tensors at the top, to lighten the torque on the shelf.
Sorry I cannot provide photo. I made the backboard wide enough to span 3 studs (32", I think). Build the shelf, mount it on the backboard, fasten it with one screw to the center stud, laser level it then lock it down with more screws.

Laser level is a must.

Thank you Rich. Yes, that is my backup plan if I can't find something ready made. I was just hoping, that if I could find one pre-made, it would save a bit of precious time. On that other hand, I see that B&H has it for $199, but that's a bit too much for my wallet
