I currently have a Besler 23C II enlarger with a Zone VI lighthead , will this lighthead work on a Omega DII? Does a lamp house cap assembly and condenser from a Besler 23 C fit a 23C II? Thank you.

Harry Taylor would be the "go to guy", but he's left for the Great Darkroom - he is missed...

Zone VI made a lot of different cold lights. I would post a picture with dimensions. Someone will know. I have Zone VI variable contrast heads for my Beseler 4x5, they are rectangular, with different adapter will fit both Omega and Beseler.

Just stating the obvious here: The 23C is a 6x9 cm (2 1/4 x 3 1/4 inch) enlarger. Any light source designed for it would likely be too small for a 4x5-inch enlarger...

Best,
