I was recently asked to inspect an mothballed photo finishing business. The owner died last year and the person handling the estate wants to know what to do with about 15 enlargers in excellent condition; one Leitz 4x5 enlager, but all the others are high end 4x5s with color heads.

There are also several old wood 8x10 and larger studio cameras on stands, lots processing equipment for black and white and chromogenic materials. There copy stands, drum dryers, graphic arts cameras, large trays, mic photo collectibles. It all has to go.

Is there anyone on this list within driving distance of Rochester, NY who might be interested in removing this stuff for end use or resale? I just hate to toss those enlargers...
