Okay, I got all the items home and in my garage. I have yet to open the crates, but can cut through cardboard to see inside. The Durst 1200 looks fantastic, but it's this one I'm not certain about. Looks like ZBE Starlite 55. It was the one that had Sentinel on the column from my earlier observations. I can feel a lens attached, but didn't pull it yet to see what kind. Any input on quality of this? I'll know more on Monday after I get home and can open the crate. I included a pic of the crate so you know what I'm dealing with.

I had a Starlite 55 back in the 90's when if first came out , very powerful head, problem ZBE was pathetic with their support and basically all their products I threw in the trash after short usage.

Durst on the other hand is a proven workhouse enlarger brand.
