Site still down?
Down for everyone or just me..
It might be time to move your server to the cloud..
I am ready to buy a model 3 if it's still available. I sent you several messages to order it but didn't get answer.
His site is down. Sure he wants to stop.
Today www.modernenlargerlamps.com is up but still no answer from Cemil about buying a Model 3 Lamp.
I was a Zone VI customer from 1975 to the end and that's the first time is difficult to buy from US small factory.
Peter, I have one of 1A units and understand that it might be functionally very possible to build an equivalent unit for less [and sometimes the challenge is the reason to do so by itself]. But I'm pretty sure it would be very difficult to replicate the quality and fit/finish of these units for the price. It works as advertised, even to the contrast grades claimed on his site using Ilford MG Fiber Papers (both MG IV & Classic per my testing) with MG Filters. Also, once installed, it looks like it was originally made by Omega for the enlarger. It was a very nice looking exact fit replacement for the original lamp housing.
If he's still doing business (and it seems so from his Jan. 3 post in this thread and the web site being up again), I'd highly recommend consideration of purchasing. That kind of quality should be rewarded IMHO.
I agree. The units look very nice.
I am sure unit look very nice, so why I don't get any anwer (Yes or No) when I send an email to order a model 3 ?
Don't know but give the guy some time.
My impression is that he is a guy doing this on his own for the love of it and is not like a B&H Photo with a big staff. Also, my own guess [no direct communication w/ him] is that, like Eric said, he had thought of getting out of the business but may be trying to re-start since people seem to be interested again. May not want to promise things until can be sure to deliver (see Deardorff threads for alternative way).
I wonder why these units are not made for Beseler enlargers.
