Sanuders LPL Masking Attachment Part Number 240-500

[Inayat Noor]

I have the LPL Masking Attachment for my Saunders LPL 4500 enlarger. I don't have the manual or any instructions with it.

I picked it up to enlarge 6 X 9 and 6 X 12 negatives.

I have the LPL 4X5 negative carrier with anti-newton glass. Does this masking device fit within the 4X5 negative carrier?
Or does it work as a stand alone and I need to purchase anti-newton glass to lay underneath it? Or does anyone have a manual
they can send to me?

All advice is appreciated.

The masking attachment replaces the stage that the negative carrier rests on top of.

Thank Jon,

Is the stage part of the enlarger? Sorry, my enlarger is at another location so I will look into this during the weekend.

It is the piece on the enlarger that the negative carrier is placed on top of.

Thanks Jon,

Now that makes sense. I insert the 6 X 12 negative into the 4X5 glass negative carriers. Then that sits on top of the mask accessory. The (mask slides) will then control the light spills.

You could just cut out a piece of cardboard for your negative size and sit the carrier on top of that!

There is a loose piece that supports the negative carrier, it lifts and slides out, the mask replaces it.

Like others have said it's a simple thing to lift out the original negative stage and replace it with the masking one. If, for some reason, you have any problems let us know and I can post pics of mine.
