I am getting an Omega D2 and need to acquire a cone and board for my El-Nikkor 135mm. Are the parts universal to all the D-series, or are the ones for D3-D5 different?

No cones for D5 or D6 or D5500. Cones for D2 and D3/D4 are different. So make sure you have D2 cones. Since the D2 cones are all different sized than D3 cones, you can measure them to make sure you have the right ones before you purchase.

So look for:
421-100 Flat Mount only for 50-105mm lenses (requires lens disc)
421-101 Lens Cone 2¾" (for 135mm lenses)
421-102 Lens Cone 4½" (for 150mm lenses)

Where are you located? There is a older DII on my local craigslist that looks like it has the 4 1/2 inch cone on it. The whole thing is only $40

I see that there is also a 4 1/2 inch cone on ebay now but the buy it now price is almost double the price of that complete enlarger with cone and lens (as is frequently the case :) )

I've been trying to find a lens cone at a reasonable price as well. Right now I have a homemade one made out of a plastic drinking glass and aluminimu foil tape. I hate to wonder what this is doing to my enlarger alignment but every time I see a cone on the 'bay it's >$40.

Got one for cheap, with a Wolly lens:

It is fine despite the ugly tape in the picture. Thanks to those who replied.
