A few months back, my dichroic head for my Beseler 35MX died. After getting a quote on fixing it, I bought a cheap condenser off of Ebay and resigned myself to using that. I finally decided the dead head was taking up too much room and hauled it off to the metal dump. But before I did, I pulled out the diffusion chamber. Hated to see that go and I figured someday somebody might need it.
Last week a similar head came up on Ebay that was missing its diffusion chamber and wouldn't close because the lockdown toggles were broken off. I got it for thirty-eight bucks, including shipping. As soon as it got here, I popped my diffusion chamber in, got two drywall anchor screws and locked the cover down and fired it up. I spent all day playing with my newly ressurected toy. Works every bit as good as the original did before it died.
