broken enlarger

[FrankS]

My enlarger bit the dust. It's a Beseler 4x5 with dichroic colour head. The lamp is good but the relay which tells the lamp come on in order to focus to come on during the exposure isn't working. There is a mess of curcuit boards and wires inside the head for features that I don't use. I may just gut the thing and and rewire it simply.

Or, does anyone have an enlarger head (B+W or colour, condensor or diffuser) to fit the Beseler chassis? (The head simply lifts off.)

Relays are pretty standard items. I think there is a good chance you could take the numbers off the one in the enlarger and get a replacement that is identical. Or contact the manufacturer and get the part from them.

Frank,

Oddly enough I have an extra B&W Condenser head for beseler 45 series. PM me if interested. I am reasonable in my pricing 🙂
