yes, its is surrounded by lots of clutter


There is some paint loss as shown here. If you had the time and patience, this enlarger is a piece-of-cake to disassemble and repaint.


Some surface rust shown here on the column that should be easily removed if you desired.


The baseboard shows some wear and has a long chip on the left side. However it is flat. If you care about cosmetics, you can either cut a new baseboard or refinish this one


35mm negative carrier and condensor. Both are in great shape.


Bogen easel is pretty basic. On the reverse side is the 8x10 setting.


Nikon EL-Nikkor f4 is in ok condition. A bit of haze inside, but glass is scratch-free. The lens board is perfect and accepts any 39mm lens. This particular lens goes on eBay for less than $30 usually


GE Interval timer and focuser. When I used this focuser, it did magnify to the grain level (even though it doesn't say "grain focuser". Both work fine and the manual for the focuser is included.


Bellows appear to be in great shape with no holes that I see.
the housing is shown here with my finger holding down the negative carrier. As is, there is no place for filters. Some people rig a place for filters in the housing. Others just purchase a below-the-lens set that clips onto the lens. Everything I've gathered is that there is absolutely no difference in quality between the two variants. When I used this enlarger briefly, I used graded paper. If you buy this enlarger from me, I recommend purchasing the below-the-lens set that I sent a link for in my previous e-mail.


Here is the large-format condensor. It is heavy. There is a small chip on the edge, not shown, that will not effect anything because 4x5 is a rectangle in a circle.


As of tonight, the bulb still works. Here is the enlarger turned on with a negative enlarged.


I forgot to mention this. This is some kind of "Simmons-Omega Auxiliary Focusing Attachment". Apparently it is used for large-format reductions.
