Hopefully the photos loaded
The durst 138 I bought pretty much bare bones. It serial numbers is 612. That sounds early to me. I purchased a Nega 138 negative carrier. The distance between the groves on the enlarger is 10 1/4" the
The distance between the 2 white pins on the carrier is 10 11/16"
If I understand correctly, the white pins should slide in the groves.
when one pin is in the grove, the other one hangs over.
Thanks
That carrier has some kind of distinctly non-factory DIY conversion, adapted to some other application. You'll have to re-adapt the positioning.
Measured my Nega 138 as per the photo below. You may need to modify your Nega 138 to fit your enlarger. The metal pieces that hold the white pins on mine are riveted on. On yours it looks like they're bolted on so they may have been changed during its lifetime.

The 10 1/4 between the grooves is what my two 138"s measure. Maybe there is play in the bolt holes of your Nega 138 and you can move them inwards.
thanks for the input. I'll peal the felt back tomorrow, and see what is going on.
