Can anyone tell me with reasonable certainty what is the voltage requirement for the Durst Lafan?
i seem to recall that it's 220V. BUT if not, things might get a bit exciting if plugged into that voltage!
TIA,
Will

Does it have this plug on the end?
IC-
I can't tell from that photo. Here's a pic of the plug on my Lafan.
Round pins spaced about 3/4" or about 19mm
Thanks!
I suspect 220V.
Yup...according to my "Pocket Ref" book.., that's a Europlug-and Europe uses 220V 50Hz
So the general consensus here is 220V, which is as I had thought. Not necessarily conclusive, but a big help in pointing the way.
Thanks all!

Do you have 220V available? What voltage are you using to run the rest of the enlarger?
ic-r:
I do have 220 available. I am using 110 for the rest of the enlarger (it's only a light bulb/condenser head and a timer...) Lifts and focus are manual.
I can wire up the Lafan carefully to test it. But based on comments here, it appears that it is designed for 220V. Unfortunately there are no markings on the unit to identify the power requirement.
Et toi, Ginette? Any thoughts?
The actual plug pin shape tells you the voltage and Hz. Nominal 220 in this case. You can simply google "European electrical plugs" for relevant diagrams, analogously to how you can differentiate US options under NEMA classification diagrams. Fans like this don't have any fancy electronics in them, so ordinary 220 - 240 voltage works fine. But you can't always make those kind of simple substitutions. If it were a power supply for Durst, you'd need to read the fine print on the unit regarding the voltage tolerance range.
The buyer could pay a electrician.
He is getting a bargain.
