49 cent Durst Hotub Lens adapter for 8x10

Saw this at the "Freight Outlet" today and it reminded me of the Durst Hotub. This aluminum cone adapter allows the shorter focal length lenses to be mounted on the Durst 10x10 enlargers.

It was only .49 US. Pretty cool, in that it fits perfectly.

It is just for 'special occasion' use as it long enough that it can hit the negative carrier if you are not careful. I will lengthen the feeler on the stop switch if I plan on using it on a regular basis.

BTW the 'Correct' plate for the shorter lenses on this enlarger is the LARATUB N, but I have never seen on on E-bay and Jensen Optical sells it for $465.40
