Please see ebay item no. 170710350722
I recently picked up the exact same enlarger, except mine is branded Fujimoto Lucky 70M. I really like it, it's well-made and in great shape, and the focus and parallelogram mechanisms work very smoothly. Unfortunately it didn't come with any negative carriers and knowing which Bogen is identical would help a lot trying to find one.

Grabbed a quick shot of mine so you don't have to hunt for that ebay listing. Again, mine is a Lucky 70M, the one on ebay right now is identical, but branded Bogen. Can't make out a model number, although I'll see if the seller knows more.
If you recognize this, I'd love to hear from you. Google searches for lucky + enlarger, ahem, only go so far...
What little I've been able to find indicates that besides Bogen, it may also have been branded as "Prinz" for the US market.
Looking for negative carriers, 35mm as well as 120.
Also, there are no condenser lenses in mine. Should there be?
I paid $1 for it (I kid you not) at a camera show so it won't break the bank either way but it's really rather a nice unit that would serve me perfectly.

Lucky was sold under several brand names, including Bogen. There should be condensers in your enlarger. It used the standard PH211 bulb many of these inexpensive enlargers used.

Thanks, Pickett.
I've done some more sleuthing and apparently the equivalent Bogen model is the Super 66.
But, since it now appears I need to source both the carrier and the condenser unit, I may just have to give up on it.
