Durst L1840 Enlarger 8x10 10x10--Everything you wanted to know...

[Donald Miller]

While automotive fuses can be used in a pinch, it is not a good idea to do so because the "failure characteristics" are not the same. Automotive fuses are designed for 12 volt DC and you will find a variety of 110 volt AC fuses each with different characteristics. Some are designed for inductive loads (high initial start amperage) and some are fast blow for rapid response in the event of voltage spikes.

Hey Allen....Thanks so much. I will go down and pick a couple up. I hope that is the only problem keeping it from working.

I have Durst 2400 with DL2500 head. It runs with PCM1001. 12x12 enlarger. Sits in a appartment without use

Pete,
Are you offering to rent it out ?

I'm not selling (that is why it is not in the for sale section) this but here is a craig's list ad in Michigan for a Durst 8x10 enlarger.

Just thought I'd ad this to the mix.

It's alive! It's alive!! Thanks so much, IC!

• I hooked the StopClock "Mains input connector" to my wall outlet via a 3-prong extension.
• I hooked the StopClock "Enlarger Connector" to the "timer" input on my EST1000 power supply (there were no sparks or blown fuses, so I think you were right about the 120v connection)
• I hooked the "power input" connector on the EST1000 to the mains (a socket marked "AUX").
• I crossed my fingers and powered up.

It works!! Yeah, baby!! I'm in business!!

Side Note I: I ended up cannibalizing the socket connection cable from the enlarger's power supply's (from the "timer output" to the "timer input" of the EST1000) to connect the StopClock to the EST1000N power supply. I had a heavy duty 3-prong cable laying around that I'd pulled off an old projector cart "just in case"...this case. I did an internet lookup first as the wire colors are blue/brown/green rather than black/white/green.

Side Note II: Also, my EST1000N has "100-240v" above the "timer" connection socket, but I appreciate you bringing that to my attention just the same, Gary.

Anyway, I'm off and running!

Thanks again. And thanks too, IC, for the "Durst L1840...Everything you wanted to know..." you've posted here. I've learned a lot there too.

Best regards,
~Mark

Here's a bump for a new Durst owner!

Here is a current picture. But it does not show the latest addition...knob extensions, thanks very much to Gary! (so I don't need the little ladder any more )

That is such a beauty!!
