I used a leverage system and bricks to slowly and safely raise the enlarger by myself over a period of a few hours once I got it in my darkroom space.
There was a thread about it but it was removed at my request after it seemed to be causing too much stress/grief for me.
If you have any questions feel free to contact me.
PS. I would love that Mercury head/bulb for some alt work if you still have it?
I may be able to trade you for a 35mm carrier for it.
Also I've been looking for an 8x10 stretcher carrier, I have two glass carriers but would prefer the stretcher kind if you would be interested in a glass carrier.
Anyway if you have questions about install let me know. Or ask Jac, he knows a lot and is a great resource as well.
