Why don’t you ask Beseler themselves?

Not a fan of the turret
My Beseler V-XL has an 8X10 conversion and uses a custom lens board to mount an EL-Nikkor 240mm f5.6 which is massive. I bought the system used and drove 1200 miles round trip for it.
Now you need a parts enlarger, the single lens 'board' on CB7, MX4X5 and all 23 medium format Beseler enlargers are the same.
No rules, make it work. I use hole saws often...
Forgot to add the V-XL also used the same lens board, but mine was milled from alu to make it fit the giant lens.
Yes, you may be able to buy parts, usually a parts enlarger is far cheaper.
No mod done to the actual mounting area
There must be holes for bolting the refit in.
I suggest you appeal for parts on the WTB thread.
I don't have any and looking at eBay right now I regret giving away some of my Beseler
Also ask for a parts list with diagrams for your exact MX
Here's a look up inside the CB7 and i bet some of those parts are the same

You probably need to get one of these.http://store.khbphotografix.com/50mm...ns-Turret.html Maybe beseler sells them.
You are absolutely correct. I have several late model Beseler MXII models two with turrets and those two both have the 39mm-50mm spacer. What this does other then convert the 39mm -50mm is give the space so the very rear element of the 135-150mm lens is FLUSH with the rotating turret like the other 39mm smaller format lenses do. Now you can turn the turret freely to any of the 3 focal lengths. I have two w/ turrets w/ one set with 50-80-135 & the other with 60-100-150 & both the 135mm & the 150mm use this spacer.
