I recently bought a used Omega D5 XL enlarger and a used Zone VI cold light that is supposed to fit all Omega D models. I bought them from two different source s, and I am now trying to figure out how the cold light fits into the enlarger. I first removed the condenser light source from the enlarger, then I removed th e variable lens and the condenser lenses. I put the diffusion panel for the col d light in the aluminum cylinder that houses the condenser lenses. Now where do es the cold light go? It won't fit where the original light was. I could drop the cold light into the cylinder directly on top of the diffusion panel where t he condenser lenses were, but then I'll have to pick the cylinder up by hand ea ch time and slip the negative carrier underneath. That would render the upper s tages of the condenser assembly and the arm that raises it worthless. Any thoug hts? I may have overlooked something completely obvious, or maybe I'm doing it right and don't know it. I haven't bought any other accessories for the enlarge r (lens, timer, neg. holder, etc.), so I'll probably be back with other question s in the future. But right now this has me stumped.
Thanks for all your help.
