HELP: Durst Laborator 1200

[Woodturner-fran]

Howdy,

If I see one anywhere I'll let you know, but I haven't seen one anywhere before. I only have 1 that I swap 2 lenses in and out of, and then the 150mm lens has its own board. Could you get something made and just glue the lens in place?

I use one of those 100W golf ball bulbs. Anything >60W is near impossible to get in Europe now, so I bought 4 of these from my local hardware as a job lot. Only a few euro each (although I think they made a mistake!). I usually end up around 4 stops from wide open with that bulb?

I found a Lapla 50 :-)

Only 2 things left.
#1 - Finding the Otopfe negative masks for 6x6, 6x9 and 4x5, or make them from Omega D2/D5 negative carriers.

#2 - Order the bulbs. Just wondering if I should get all 3 wattages (40,60,and 100).
I found that 75w was sometime a bit too much in my M600, but I don't know how much more wattage the larger L1000 will soak up compared to the smaller M600. Maybe just the 60 and 100w bulbs.
I have not found a G30 bulb with a 150w rating, so looks like I'm maxed out at 100w.

I would think you should be fine with 60 and 100W bulbs....

Good luck on the hunt for the negative masks - you can also keep an eye out for the tauneg carrier....

Luckily I have the TAUNEG 2 negative carrier. But I have to replace the velvet strips on the top, mine is worn out.

I was outbid for a 4x5 mask on eBay in GB.

I did some comparisons and it looks like I could cut down an Omgea D2/D5 negative carrier to replace the negative masks.
The Omega negative carriers are easier to find, just more work to cut them down to size.
