Since I need to replace my ancient Omega, which won't do anything larger than 35mm, I have been hunting for a color enlarger to do 2-1/4 x 2-1/4, 6x4.5cm, and 4x5".

Being inherently cheap (understatement!) I have been watching ebay (narrowly missed a Beseler 45A at a good price @#$$#@$@#!!!).

Any recommendations on older LF color enlargers? What's good? What to avoid?

Thanks!
