Few actually want a 10X10
Those that do are preserving them for wiser young people
I easily remember the 10X10 purges that occured on a massive scale for the last 2 decades
they look like my drill press! those are great well built enlargers. shame not many appreciate quality anymore in our disposable society. i love stuff like that, i just dont have the space for it n if i did... my house would be a museum.
i see your wood working machines are getting squeezed out...
Nice find. Those are getting very scarce. I have not seen an 8x10 durst on ebay or craigslist for a while.
Found these on Facebook marketplace. Wish one of them had the vacuum baseboard like my old L184.Quote:

Just like stray kittens, you can adopt only so many of them.
Went thru some of the stuff and cleaned up the CLS1840.
Did you have to drive far?Quote:
