This has been on the Denver craigslist for a while.
It doesn't specify Type I or II though.

Nice find. From the relative dimensions of the 7" format length, I make the overall length of this carrier to be approximately 12" long. Given that the length of a Type II negative carrier is 15.75" in length, which is nowhere close, I would appear that this negative carrier is a Type I.
However, unless the Type I head with this enlarger is the replacement model produced by Calumet, the head will not adequately cover 5x7. There are multiple threads on this topic in the archives.
In order to tell, if the control box is quite heavy and large, has separate knobs and switches for both blue and green, and connects with the head via a thick, about a half-inch group of wires, it's the original head. (The control box for the replacement head is relatively light-weight, has three knobs on it, and connects to the head via a phone wire.)
I have made several Zone VI lensboards. They are simple sheet steel, about 18 gauge, and can be easily cut with tin snips and hand filed. Much cheaper than anything you can buy now or have made.
that looks perfect. I can't be 100% sure, but that matches the relative size and design of what i would think the lens board would look like
Jason,
read this thread: http://www.largeformatphotography.in...on-lens-boards
Based on the information I received there I cut out lens boards from acrylic on a laser cutter.
If you have a maker space near you they may be able to help you manufacture the parts you need.
If you call calumet you might have luck asking for the parts. I believe they did have some lens boards, not sure about negative carriers, back in 2011. Ask to talk to someone in the tech department.
The Zone VI is a fun system, lots to learn, and lots to finesse. enjoy.
