    Anyone buy the nice Durst L1840 on e-bay?

    Looks like a Durst L1840 with CLS1840 head has sold. I was just curious if it sold to anyone on the LF forum.

    Either way good luck with your new enlarger.

    It was not me.
    But I bought an motorized L184 chassis with an CLS1840 head
    3 lenses, 4 mixing boxes, glassless masks etc
    The downside: I broke the plastic gear that is needed to lower/rise the head.

    I wish it had been me. I'm still conflicted (torturing myself): 5x7 or 8x10, using the 8x10 negatives for contact printing only.

    mike,

    next time we meet I can dig up a Hotub lensboard for you. That way yo will not have a excuse for not printing jour brilliant 66 negatives.

    Another inexpensive option for 66 that I just found is to put a recessed Lapla in the Tripla. The Tripla won't spin, but it will get an 80mm lens far enough up there to focus mural size projections without any binding.

    If either one of you would like any of the pdf files I have collected send me a PM. I also have a few knobs extra knobs I picked up with the intent of getting them into the hands of someone with broken knobs.

    ic-racer,

    I broke the plastic gear that is on the motor end (or handcranc) that drives the uppper part.
    I try to fix it, but do you know that plastic gear is available somewhere ?

    Mike.
