    Jac, My base is just like yours. 3 pieces with top baseboard.

    But the bottom sub base was shortened as deduced from welds.

    Putting the base board height about 20".

    These can fit in 8' ceilings if a modern LED head it used.

    One more picture of the underside of the frame. A marvelous thing about this Saltzman is that all the parts (shafts, tubes, universal knuckles, gears, chain and fasteners) are American standard so replacing parts required only a two-mile drive to our farming supply store.

    Remember - a fastener over-tightened is already half broken.

    I finally figured out what this part is (that came with a random pile of parts from my newly acquired Durst 184). It's a glassless negative carrier!

    Have any of you seen something like this? Who made it? I will have to fabricate a carrier for it so that I can insert it into my Durst Laraneg or Condit 10 x 10 negative carriers.

    I don't know, but it sure looks factory made

    I believe at one time all major enlarger producers made a glassless carrier for larger sheet film

    However some here really don't like them...

    I like them!

    Cool, someone on the FB group "The Darkroom" told me they were made by HK. But I have been unable to find any pics of HK negative carriers or these negative carriers. Anyway, for the moment they are all I have! Neither my Laraneg nor my Condit has glass.

    That thing looks more like a prop that escaped from a Joel Peter Witkin set!
