While we're passing info along there is this pretty little Elwood on Craigslist too -

But it's NOT an autofocus model!.

So what. It is missing the filter holder, which is listed on EBay.

I have one just like it.

Does anybody believe it really exists? In Chicago we get listings like this as bait to get a sucker with cash in the wrong place.

I already have a wood model that I'm almost done restoring, but if I didn't I'd be all over the Elwood
auto focus or not, I'm not picky.

Just putting it out there if anyone wants a 5x7 enlarger.

The area that it's located in has/had photo studios there, so it may be legit.

Chelsea was part of the photographic movement in the downtown area. Near the waterfront as many of lower Manhattan was, Chelsea had old turn of the century piers and warehouse. As a teenager growing up in NYC, I remember the boxes and crates of OLD photographic equipment to thrown out as garbage. Tintypes and glass plates....

The NEW Chelsea area is home to the Mixed Media Industry, so rest assure the lofts are super nice and I would think that its not a Scam as Larry is squawking about!
I probably could take a drive down there JUST to look it over for anyone interested. Just a LOOK, nothing more. Reminds me of my college days in the Wet Darkroom, but using newer equipment (Yes 8 X 10 enlargers ad many more items than what I see here) plus 14 flatbed process camera..... Chelsea and the upper portion of Houston Street were at one point home to the Graphic Arts industry...

I'm sitting on (3) enlargers: Beseler 23CIII XL, Beseler 23CII XL, and Omega D2V. All collecting dust, as i do my art on my (2) scanners - Scitex Eversmart Pro II and Imacon Flextight Precision III.
