Hello,
The motor for the lens stage on my Devere 108 a/f 10x10 enlarger stoped working. I understand that maybe the carbon brush may need replacement or otherwise I have to get the motor repaired....

yes indeed it is a 2 piece column as mentioned above.. my current issue with the enlarger is that one of the motors failed. otherwise everything else work. I will have to have it repaired. As far as...

I must say - that is very impressive you manages to do that. I have seen many people trying and failing in doing that so really well done. I do have one of those Kodak 2D from the 1920is and it still...

also interesting point - but there are advantages and disadvantages for both - larger mirror may also mean many more specs of dust to deal with, and working in the dark arounf a very large piece of...

thank you very much! that is very useful. Do you think it is possible to use it with 8x10 lenses? that would depend on the width of the mirror and maximum distance from the lens.
If I can't get a...

well to cover 8x10 with minimal distortion and top grade quality that would make sense. I wish it was simpler

Rodenstock Rodagon-G 300mm, which is designed for mural size enlargements (you are welcome to check the pdf online). However, in general terms - for enlargement from 8x10 negatives it's not very...

thanks! maybe if I find a way to attach to a "lensboard"-like panel with a filter ring in the correct diameter that would do the trick, possibly welding the ring onto a board, and the board to a box...

again - that would have been ideal - however the lens thread connection needs to be at least 90mm (which is slightly larger than 3.5")

thanks, - the difficulty would be to place the mirror precisely in 45 degrees under the lens, I think its not that straight forward as a slight deviation will create distortions and get part of the...

true enough - but that together with the distance from the wall would effect print size?

excellent! so potentially that should work up to 150mm, if that is the case its worth having a go at it for sure. as for long exposures - my enlarger has 2000w of light so I am hoping it will work...

Thank you I will look into it - but I think it won't cover larger enlarging lenses which I will be using to enlarge 4x5 & 8x10 negatives.. some of the lenses are simply too big. - also I would assume...

I am using troughs for 50" paper and process the paper buy rolling for about 7 min dev, then stop, fix, wash, wash aid and wash again the usual way. drying is another topic

Thank you! yes that is exactly what I am looking for and exactly the kind of problem I am trying to solve within the circumstances in which I am at.. I would imaging there would be a discrepancy in...

very interesting to see the mockup - that is a good idea to do that before going big. yes - I am looking into splicing of several sheets of 50'' paper, which cannot be done with a vertical enlarger....

forgive me for the delay,
that is a very good idea I will look for a tiltable mirrir mechanism for projectors - looking online it seems that they very much still make them. -otherwise I could also...

Hello everyone, I was wondering if anyone has experience with projecting horizontally to the wall with a vertical enlarger. I realise that ideally it would be best to use a horizontal enlarger but...

Thank you all, I ended up phisically going there and took it apart. If anyone would be interested in the future - yes the column does split to 2 parts with 3 large screws. you need at least 4 people...

Hello everyone,

I have access to take on a Devere 108s 10x10 enlarger in working condition and to ship it from another country to my studio. I realise its quite a beast, I have used it in the...
