  1. Re: Durst L1840 Enlarger 8x10 10x10--Everything you wanted to know...

    Does anyone know of a source for dichroic filters for the CLS 2000 head?

    A preliminary search shows that most places top out at 50mm square, which is too small.

    Specifically, I need to replace...

    Thanks Gary,
    That's very helpful.
    The breaker for the wall outlets in my darkroom is 40A, but all my cables from the wall outlets towards any device which is not close to a wall are 13A.

    Thank you ic-racer.
    Not ready yet to attempt actual printing, since there are still many things that need fixing…
    I'm taking it a step at a time…
    Safety first…
  4. Re: Durst L1840 Enlarger 8x10 10x10--Everything you wanted to know...

    The CLS2000 manual doesn't give any specs for timer suitability.

    Is my 220v digital timer with "switching capacity: 1000va" and an "T4amp " safe to use?

  5. Re: My $1.00 densitometer is working now and Liam Lawless shootout

    You could also sandwich 2 step wedges together (if you have a spare one) as a calibration tool, which would give you the ability to plot out your meter's response to densities all the way up to 6.00…
  6. Re: Durst L1840 Enlarger 8x10 10x10--Everything you wanted to know...

    I based my comment on information provided by Durst-USA.
    This is an excerpt from a pdf:

    Also, all four wheels are the same.

    Drew and Kiwi7475,
    Thank you both for your contributions.
  8. Re: Durst L1840 Enlarger 8x10 10x10--Everything you wanted to know...

    Drew,

    Can you elaborate on this, or provide sources?
    I'm not saying you're wrong, but my thought on putting rubber under the rails was based on two different sources.

    1) This is an excerpt...
  9. Re: Durst L1840 Enlarger 8x10 10x10--Everything you wanted to know...

    Gary,

    Thanks for sharing the 2506 instructions for installation on the rails.
    The text does provide some information on proper procedure for putting the rails on the floor.

    However, the L184...
  10. Re: Durst L1840 Enlarger 8x10 10x10--Everything you wanted to know...

    Yes, this is the correct placement.
    The rails (and the enlarger's base) need to be perpendicular to the wall you want to project on.

    Based on the size of that wall and the largest...
  11. Re: Durst L1840 Enlarger 8x10 10x10--Everything you wanted to know...

    The wheels do not rotate on purpose. Once your rotate the head 90 degrees for horizontal projection, the lens faces in the direction of travel.

    ic-racer,
    I have a folder (with many subfolders) with pictures of 8x10 Dursts that I've saved through the years.
    Sadly, none of the pictures that include setups with rails are focused on the rail...

    My floor is tile over concrete.

    Had the same concerns about aluminum, so that settles it.

    A search for steel T-rails in the specified dimensions (or close to them) was unsuccessful.

  14. Re: Durst L1840 Enlarger 8x10 10x10--Everything you wanted to know...

    Has anyone here put an L184 or L139 on rails for horizontal projection?

    The L184 manual suggests the use of 80x40x7mm T-rails, while the CSL2000 manual suggests V-rails (of unspecified...
  15. Re: Durst L1840 Enlarger 8x10 10x10--Everything you wanted to know...

    ic-racer,

    Did you ever put the CP43 that fits the reflector to use, and do you have any comments as to how it compares to the original Thorn?

    Specifically:

    Do the fans run for more time,...

  20. Re: Can I use LED bulbs in my Ilford MG 500 head?

    So, the answer to my original question seems to be:
    Yes it's safe to replace the ENH with LED… But, it probably won't work as intended…

    Well, only one way to find out I guess…

    Thanks to all...
