Hi all, I'm one step further to setting up my vintage darkroom, as I have just been given a lovely old "Gnome Master II" enlarger, all the condensers, loads of lenses, and despite the dirt, she is cleaning up well... 🙂
However, I am missing one piece and I'm hoping one of you could help me out or point me in the right direction...
With the enlarger, I have been given the 3 "Wray Supar" lenses that where originally brought with it... The mount on the enlarger seems to be about 1.5 inches and takes the 4 1/2 inch lens, there is an adapter to go from 1.5 inch to 1.25 inch to fit the 3 1/2 inch lens, however I am missing an adapter to go from 1.5 inches on the enlarger to 1 inch on the 2 inch lens...
I have tried every one I know & I can only get metric, these are old imperial threads, quite course (I suspect whitworth) and nobody knows where I can get one. So if you can help me out with one, or you can point me the right way, I would be grateful. There are other lenses I could use, but chatting to the guy I got it from, these 3 lenses where purchased all together when the enlarger was brought (back in the early 60's it would of cost a lot of money) and been the soppy fool I am, I want to keep them together and working.
So any help would be fab...
And I will keep you all in the loop as the project moves on.
