  1. Re: Bulb replacement (with LED?) for LPL 4x5 Enlarger

    I am going strictly from memory. IIRC there is no transformer in the LPL 45xx power supply. It is a just smallish PC board with rectifiers, a regulator and a couple of pots to set the output. ...

    Re: LPL 4500II questions

    I owned a LPL4500II with dichroic color head for several years. It is an exemplary piece of kit. Like most enlargers, it had slight light leaks. Wasn’t a problem for me as the area around the...

    Don't forget the Concord Naval Weapons Station, 5,046-acres of mostly below ground or berm bunkers! Low toxic mitigation and few buildings with which to deal. As one might expect, the City of...

    The Touro University private security guards were rude. Simple fact, based on my personal, first hand, experience. I avoid that particular property. I was shooting from the gutter at a point across...

    My SF Bay Area LF meet-up group shot on the Island two weeks ago. Yes, much is now fenced off or rudely "off limits" (Tuoro University, the old hospital). But the Island still offers a rich palette...

    Re: ZoneVI Devel. Timer Repair or Adjust?

    Kevin is quite right. I repair old audio tube amplifiers and pro-sumer reel-2-reel decks. Electrolytic capacitors from the 90's are well past their life expectancy. Get them replaced before they...

    It is best to have both standards square and level. Yours front does not appear to be. That will not have a major impact on the image taking capability. It would bother me and I would adjust it....

    Similar to what I do. I got a few sheets of opaque polyethelene sheets and cut down. I am out of the stock and the old masks are getting shopworn. Gotta find something else!

    Re: Durst Mavet 138

    The outside dimension is 10x10". The opening is 5x7". That why I didn't question the representation that it would fit the Laraneg.

    Re: Durst Mavet 138

    Thanks! (I think ;-) ) So the 138 goes into the 205, which then goes into the Laraneg, AFTER I remove the glass?

    Durst Mavet 138

    Need some help. I bought this, Durst Mavet 138, because the seller represented it as a 5x7 mask that would fit the Laraneg in my 184. Got it, tried it....no joy!! So what does this fit?

    Yes, but you may not get even spacing of the grades without adding some additional filtration to correct the color emitted by the cold light head.
