There are a number of well known photographers in the UK who run workshops.
One of whom (Colin Prior) built his reputation on the Fuji GX617, so would be well aware of the foibles of that camera....
If it's the controller that's failed, then get a cheap 24vdc PWM power supply from the internet and wire with motor directly.
It's a bit of a pain, but easier than trying to fix or source a...
I reached out to several suppliers of Valeo motors and the nearest i could get had a minimum order of 10 motors.
They sent me one that they thought would work, but there were a number of variables...
Thank you.
Mike
Can you share it? Mine's a CPA2, but suspect there are a number of common features.
Mike
Yeah, part of the reason i've been stock-piling MG500 setups as the PSU's seem to be the weakest link in the setup.
Mike
The brass insert is slotted and the fingers grip the motor shaft by friction.
The more you tighten the screw in the cog, the more the brass insert retracts into the tapered hole in the cog and the...
From Intrepid's website: "It also weighs 8.5kg so there is no need to modify the counter weight on your enlarger."

Welcome to the Forum from Scotland!
There was a wall-mount kit for the L1200 called Femowall.
They appear to be very rare and even more expensive when they do appear.....usually along with...
Another vote for the Linhof 3-Way leveling head.
Buttery smooth, locks solid and more than capable of holding my Technikardan.
Mike
You can tell the difference between the 45 and 45S without referring to the serial number.
My 45 has a serial number starting 984.
Mike
If the power supply is failing, either get it fixed or replace it if you want to keep using the MG500 system.
The PSU controls the variation in lamp intensity for both channels, producing the...
If you do decide to buy Vaughn, Camera Bellows in the UK can supply an OEM quality replacement.
You can replace them yourself with minimal tools.
Mike
I've used Custom Bellows in the UK to replace both my Technika and Technikardan bellows.
They apparently make the bellows for Linhof, so quality is not in question.
There are a number of videos...
Hi Keith, yes, rear tilt and front tilt are basically the same thing, though you need to be careful where you use each movement.
If you're referring to Scheimpflug to change the plane of focus,...
Vaughn's right, we have the right to roam, provided we do not cause any damage and respect those that live here. If you stay away from the tourist hotspots, then there's a lifetime's worth of...
If you do come over with your 10x8 Hugo, aim for very long exposures so the masses of tourists will disappear from the film!
Mike
Take a look at the Calumet film changing tent.
I use one regularly when in the field and have a spare just in case.
Mike
Are you referring to the sliding scale along the bed?
I have one and had to source it directly from Linhof.
Mike
Try and find a Paterson Orbital processor. It does two 5x7 sheets side by side or four 5x4 sheets at once.
Very economical on chemicals but sometimes hard to find.
Mike
How about extending the two tubes under the drum till they appear longer than the 10x8 Expert drum?
The rubber bungs come off so a length of hard plastic pipe fitted over the tubes or a length of...
Yes, i make sure mine is fully dry before reloading the Orbital.
It reduces the risk of getting marks on the film. I still pre-wash before adding the developer.
Mike
Likewise, my Orbital has the rubber bumpers arranged so i can do 4x 5x4 or 2x 5x7 sheets at a time.
For the dividers, i glued some 1 inch plastic "tiddlewinks" to the top of the dividers to stop...
So sorry for your loss.
Mike
Doesn't removing it create a light leak?
Mine's left in all the time.
Mike
Welcome to the forum from the Highlands of Scotland.
Mike
If he turned up in mine, he'd probably pass away again from laughter!
Mike
Drop them an email and ask about shipping to Belgium?
They ship worldwide, so will know what you should expect.
Mike
Patrick,
Have a look at: https://www.ffordes.com/p/SH-18-020386/lee-system/100x100-warm-81b
Mike
Wouldn't that be an EI of 12, not 25 for three stops from 100?
My B&W 25 measures 2⅔ stops.
Mike
It had better be usable.....i have two of them !
Fantastic enlargers and spares aren't too bad in Europe.
Mike
My L758DR does the same when you use the backlight.
Mike
Looks like balsam separation between the elements.
Very little you can do about it.
Mike
Welcome Tomas.......from another Scot!
Mike
I went for a T-nut on my Kodak Specialist when the tripod bush started to slip out after fitting a QR plate.
Now, the QR plate screws directly into the T-nut, so the tighter i make it, the more...
See posts 7 & 8, looks like it's a US-only service at the moment.
Mike
Surely developer exhaustion would be related to the image density?
If you are trying to calculate number of sheets processed before exhaustion is reached, you are likely to be disappointed by the...
Welcome Jerry, your name is a blast from the past!
Mike
I remember Sam from my formative days in photography.
If my memory serves, he advertised Pentax 35mm SLR's like the LX.....at least in the UK.
He was a regular contributor to several magazines...
