That falls under other. I had one but let it go as I did not have the exact lens it needs for autofocus.
It had a massively thick baseboard, that was extremely heavy, solid oak, I think, with steel reinforcement.
The whole thing was heavy as could be. Don't miss it, as the head was very similar to an Elwood, which has better usability, with it's hinge for horizontal use.
Where is it now?

Fotar 10x10 user here.
I have used my 5x7 camera as an enlarger.
I didn't vote because I haven't used it yet but I recently acquired a Burke & James Solar 5x7 enlarger.

Eric, I just got a DIY head working on my Fotar 10x10. I love the capstan focus that is so smooth and conveniently located. Until I tried it this week, I figured that big focus wheel would be too coarse, but it dials right in, I can reach the crank wheel and still look through my grain magnifier.
Today I am working on a Calumet 10x10 and I had thought it was a better design, but sadly not. It's all awkward, but it is much easier to move and set up than a Fotar.
