Cheap 4X5 Beseler in LA

[Kevin Crisp]

In Craigslist in LA, motorized 45 Beseler for $30, looks like it comes with trays. It has the side braces where they are not convenient (on the sides...) but if there is a lurker on here looking to get into 4X5 cheap that's the cheapest I've seen. Condensor head. Just search for "Beseler." I'm not affiliated with the buyer.

Actually, I checked the picture and the braces are on the back where they don't interfere with the easel.

Same enlarger I use. I have no issues with my easel. Here it is, just as I left it last night.....

There's a model where the braces go forward not back. But this $30 is the better design.

Probably just assembled wrong. If the braces go forward the base will get in the way as you raise the enlarger.

There is an earlier version where the braces go forward and mount to the sides of the easel. I know, I struggled with one then dumped it.
