Looking for an enlarger that will handle up to 6x6 and can be easily stored when not in use. Something similar to a Durst M600, small Omega or a small Federal.
I've an Omega Chromega B (with color head) that I've printed 90% of my 6x6 and smaller B&W and color negs on.
The color (diffusion) head is great for Multigrade paper. Just dial in the desired Y/M while exposures remain very constant.
It has a fairly tall column, and can be easily reverse mounted for floor projection.
The whole column actually comes off the (custom heavy duty) baseboard for easy storage.
Comes with a NM Nikkor 50 f/2.8.
Also have a Durst M601 complete with the mirror B&W head and CLS 66 Color head, if you prefer a Durst.
Custom heavy duty baseboard, and the same NM Nikkor 50 f/2.8 lens.
Also available:
Gralab 525 dual timer and other stuff, such as trays, Thomas Safelight, etc., since I've closed my darkroom.
Located in Maryland, Baltimore/Annapolis area, willing to ship.
I've got a B22XL with 35&66 carriers, 50 &75mm kit lenses & board(s?). No baseboard.
I'd just use MDF with the formica top. Some bug box have them but a custom kitchen cabinet
joint may have scrap.
It's in a plywood box right now and is quite a bit heavier than cardboard.
It might be ok to ship ups though.
What would you think about $25.00 plus shipping?

Philips PCS-2000. 6x6. Excellent condition. Diffusion head. Glass carrier. It's like a mini Durst... Price is flexible. Just want it to go to a good home.
That is the best enlarger I ever let go (no space and the alternative came with a Heiland Splitgrade head for cheap). Additive colour system, easy to use. I totally loved it.
Many of the suggestions offered do not fit my definition of a small medium format enlarger. If you are sure that 6x6 is as large as you will ever go, a small Bogen or Vivitar, would fill the bill or a Beseler 67 Printmaker (still offered for sale new by B&H). The Meopta, if complete would be nice, too, since I think it was a suitcase enlarger. The M601 is perfect, quick take down, I bought mine new in the 70's you could take the column off with just one know, I stored mine under my bed in the dorm when I was in college. I just sold one of my two M601's. Parts are expensive but you are talking a "Mercedes" enlarger vs. a "Chevy". Any used enlarger you should buy should be complete, well, except for baseboards, baseboards are expensive to ship, but make sure you get the baseboard mounting hardware.
The B-22 is too tall
The Phillips has zero parts availability, the warehouse burned down.
