Devere 810H Enlarger looking for a home

[gregory t. kuhn]

Though I've perused this Forum for years, I am only recently a member (and for the life of me I can't find the classifieds! Just as well, because I'm not selling!)

I'm giving away a Devere 810H Dichromat 8 x 10 mural enlarger. I live in the San Francisco area. I acquired this from a former business in Berkeley, called Custom Process. I've got most of the pieces, and extra lamps, etc. There are many details to discuss, but the fact of the matter is I had to move and it no longer has a home. (It's large. I've got a person who can move it, but that cost is a truck with a lift gate, and at least two able bodies.)

Anyway, to avoid the scrap yard, I'd love to find a loving home. In turn, I'm interested in staying somewhat attached to it, collaborating on getting it up and running, and loaning lenses, etc to the process. (I've got a number of fabulous lenses for it.) But this is negotiable.

Note: This is a horizontal enlarger designed to expose very large images, like...around 16+ feet high by 20+ feet wide, or so. It is designed to move (motorized) on tracks to rough-in the size in relation to a wall. I purchased a Rodenstock lens to allow for an 8' x 5' enlargement in about 16' of space (8'-10' throw.)

Anyway, I'm interested in leads and suggestions... and advisories if I've broached LF Forum etiquette.

Wow! If only I didn't live on the east coast....

These are very nice enlargers. I had one for awhile. They are particularly good choices for people who have some floor space but not very high ceilings.

PMed. Might have room - need to see what is required.

Angus, if you need help moving the enlarger let me know.

My god! Looks like it should be shouting "Danger, Will Robinson, danger!"

Exterminate, exterminate.... For those who know Dr. Who....

As I want to set up a horizontal enlarger, I am curious which lens you bought for it.

I am definitely not interested in the enlarger, you are 2000 miles away.

Any lens info is greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
