Saltzman 8x10 - does everything from 8x10 to Minox, if you can find a place big enough and have a way to raise the 1,000lb machine...
Yup, just make sure you have a slab on grade, or reinforce the floor & rafters for the extra weight so you can hook up a come-a-long to the ceiling to raise the monster. Or you can use a lot of sand and use the technique the Egyptians used to raise some of their 40 Ton stone monoliths. Yes I know the Saltzman only weighs one ton or a little less, but still........I'll keep my Durst/Deveres which can easily be moved by one or two people once it's broken down into pieces parts! You ever going to post photos of that Saltzman? L

I may be using the Egyptian method, but with brick blocks and an engine jack.
Durst Laborator 138S for 5x7 down to 35mm with the appropriate condensers and lens combinations. It also has a Condit registration unit as well. Also it's baby sister a Durst AC 800 for color work 6x9 and smaller.
Elwood 8 x 10 and 5 Beseler 4 x5's (Just in case)
I have a very conventional Beseler 4x5MX, with cold light head.

I have a Beseler 4x5MCRX with a condenser head and Beseler 4x5 MXT with a Zone VI cold light.
Agfa/Modern half plate enlarger- just shy of the 5x7 size.
Condenser enlarger that uses a higher wattage not-so-easy-to-source incandescent bulb.

Zone VI Mk2 with digital head to easel and focus distance on a split 8 Digit Seven Segment Display.
