I just bought a used shen hao camera, and thought gee, this camera is absolutely stunning, but the strap is absolutely disgusting, stinky, and falling apart. So, I made my own...

I figured I’d update the thread. I finished rebuilding the enlarger almost from the ground up, soldering new capacitors, custom made lens board, ran new wires, rebuilt one motor, fixed the built in...

Yep, the track is laid down now... :)

Well, it’s finally in place and assembled!

Still trying to figure out the lens board situation...

Unfortunately there aren’t threads on this ring, however I’m just going to utilize the preexisting holes and have a reducer made. Similar to what youve made, just using different attachment methods.

Hmm, not sure what SKG is but I’ll give it a shot. I’m not making anything harder, I’m just trying to find a solution that isn’t crazy expensive.

I’ll give Adam a call. Is there a website as...

Hi, I’m using a 360mm rodagon for enlarging 8x10 negs, up to 7x. The rodagon has a 90mm thread mount and requires a flat lens board. I wish I could just stick with a 150mm lens or less...

That would be awesome Peter! I just had a new one machined, for a 504 De Vere, with a 90mm thread. However, it is about 2 inches too small. If interested in it, and if you have the larger boards, I'd...

This flange was attached to a recessed mount, threaded for a 39mm lens. The 4 holes shown around the flange depict that I took apart the two pieces. Now my option is to reuse those 4 screw holes and...

here is what I am working with...

Thank you all for your recommendations and ideas! Luis, what is the diameter of the boards that you have available? The size is about 6inches across... does that sound about right?

Well, it is also old. And the demand for these accessories is probably quite low. $600 for a machined piece of metal seems a bit outrageous. Perhaps also because I bought the 810H enlarger and a...

ugh, So I received the lens board that I had made for my 90mm thread rodagon. But it seems it is for the 500 series enlarger since it's way too small... So now back to square 1.

Does anyone have...

Okay, the photos seem to be attached... This is really confusing. Not sure why i can't embed the images in a traditional reply. I tried both Chrome and Safari. :(

THe board seems...

I Sure did! I had to rent a fork lift to have them load it into my truck it was so massive. Almost 600 lbs,.

I keep trying to upload an image to the thread showing the lens boards it came with,...

looking at the manual and the parts guide, http://www.khbphotografix.com/devere/index.html it looks like they recommend a flat panel for 360mm. Anyone with experience know if the 504 lens panels will...

Thanks everyone. So I picked up a 360mm Rodagon (non-g) that is in perfect condition for a really great price. This should get me started. I’m laying the track to spec of this focal length and build...

Since I’m a newbie to this forum I don’t have accesss to the classified section for several more weeks. If anyone does, could you check and see if anyone has a Rodagon-g 300mm or 360mm? I’m in...

Okay, correction. The unit does come with 2 39mm lens boards. Not sure if the are flat or recessed. I am assuming that they are recessed. However I think I can use them as a template and have my...

Well, I am going to buy the enlarger and try and diagnose the issues myself. I am getting $1000 off the price, bringing it to $500 so I still think it is a good opportunity considering the rarity of...

I was ready to drive 10 hours each way tomorrow and then he called me and told me the news. Still considering buying this one for about $300 and trying to fix it myself. Not sure if this is smart or...

ugh. Apparently, at least according to the seller, the focus motors are dead on the De Vere 810h. :( So now back to square one. I am so bummed right now...

Hi! I haven't mounted the rails yet as I am waiting for the diagram included in the manual that I just ordered. The space I am renting and turning into a lab is a giant room, 30 feet by 40ftish. The...

awesome, thanks again. I have been looking using the various channels for old, obsolete photo gear having varying results. I honesty think a 300mm lens will be perfect. But the fact that it came with...

Wonderful! Thx for all the advice! I’m really excited to pursue this project. The murals I’m making are for an art exhibit and I’m really eager/lucky to have even found such a beastly enlarger.
...

So I am jumping into this all in, headfirst. Lots of DR experience, however not in this format and not with this machine.

I just (somehow) scored a De Vere 810H horizontal enlarger for a really...

thanks Mark! I am really just looking for help/guidance here. I appreciate your response! Perhaps I did ask where to buy/look for horizontal enlargers. Stating that I've looked at all of the...

Hi. So I am confused. I started a new thread in the darkroom forum, asking for help or guidance on how to build an 8x10 horizontal enlarger, or where to buy such enlarger.


I wasn't soliciting...
