Want to Buy WTB: Saunders/Omega LPL 4550 XLG w/ VCCE Enlarger

[Ai Print]

Hi,

I am looking for an additional Saunders / Omega LPL 4550 XLG VCCE enlarger to add to existing ones for student and artist in residence use in the coming years. I would like it to at least have the 4x5 mixing box but the one for 6x7 would be nice as well. In past I have paid $900 for one in 2013 from a dealer and then one at an estate sale for $400 in 2015. I'm not sure what they go for now but I am on the look out for one.

PM me if you have one to sell.

When I bought mine I did a nationwide search of Craigslist and found one in Dallas. I reached out to the seller and he shipped it to me. Good luck.

I have one I'd be willing to sell, but shipping from Canada would be a fortune. The VCCE module is also likely an older one. It has no switch for Kodak/Ilford just the single dial.

Dan would probably love a trip to Nova Scotia .

Indeed I would love a Nova Scotia trip but the thing might get me flagged at border patrol / customs appearing as some kind of rocket launcher...

Anyone know what calibration the older single VCCE heads were for?

Does that one have the white light switch? I might be OK with it, the modules swap out really easy if it comes down to it.

PM sent....

I don't think it does. I'll double check when I get a chance. I've never seen any reference to this version online.

Just show the US border agents at the commercial crossing a link to KHB's website.

Sure then they'll want the duty on the $5k
