Durst M 305 (Nerio) - what halogen light?

[Jerevan]

Hello,

I am slowly getting my home darkroom together. 🙂

I have been googling and searching, but to no avail - does anyone know if halogen lights for a Durst 305 CLS are still manufactured?

If worst comes to worst, I can always put that enlarger in the dumpster and go back to my old Gnome... 🙁

Thanks! I checked the website, but it didn't turn up anything useful (as far as I could gather). I suppose I have to take the halogen light out of the enlarger and measure it.

I have the floor model Laborator 138S and have problems with bulbs. Try glennview.com or Jensen-Optical @ 503 846-1429. Both are Durst suppliers and about the only source for parts. I found a replacement for the lamp in my 138S at www.topbulb.com

Durst is an excellent enlarger, don't toss it just rewire it.

For future reference - I found a halogen bulb that works well and is about 5 times cheaper than the Durst original. Its name is Osram Xenophot, and goes under the designation PF6834, a 12v 100W GZ6.35 halogen bulb. These bulbs are EFP.

I couldn't find any exact information but the link for cross-reference given earlier in the thread, some measurements of the filament and some heavy-duty thinking gave me the lead-on. I will buy a supply of them. Thanks a lot for the help!
