Great!
I own, and always use, a DeVere 108 to enlarge my 8x10 negs. It's a vertical 10x10 cast aluminum rare beauty- 8 250W halogens flooding a blinding mixing chamber- For parts, I use Kevin at KHB in
Canada-
2kW of light bulbs. Wow. Saves on darkroom heating cost I suppose.
Wow !
I am really impressed and happy that DeVere is still in business. I have an oddball electric 504 that I really LOVE. I'll take photos of it sometime and post here.
8X10 Kodak Master View
250mm Fujinon f/6.7
360mm Graphic Kowa f/9
Have my 5108 lamped at 1000 watts. Plenty of light and toasty. Does anyone know the relationship between the factory and Odyssey sales in the UK?
Are they still manufacturing in China? Appears not

Are they still manufacturing enlargers? Direct contact info?
I have two mint enlargers, 5 x 7 and 11 x 14 both De Veres, I can get the correct parts for both from KHB in Ontario Canada, but I am not sure if De Vere is making them any more, IMHO they are the best enlargers ever made, only downfall in design is the negative carrier , which is where Durst wins out.
Agree, my 504 De Vere is also the most tuneable stages
I bought the wall mount chassis, no head 8 years ago
Then found the bench and long handles a year later
and moved it to my last and current studio
Last year I installed an Intreped LED head
with the unique design for De Vere
Very custom and very well done
I admire Intrepeds ability to deliver amazing products
Yes I sold my first Intreped 54 and broke even, no buyer complaint
and I really like my new 10 X 8 Series 4
Max, keep on Trucking!

I believe Odyssey is doing it: http://odyssey-sales.co.uk/
Hopefully interneg (member here) will chime in - he has a lot more knowledge than I do regarding the state of things.
