    Re: Beseler 45MXT

    I had one of Beseler 45 series enlarger with this color head. I dismantled the enlarger when the electric motor died. Not sure if I still have the lamp or not, but it should fit the 45 series enlargers.

    The universal color head would be too large for a 23 series enlarger.

    Not sure if it would fit a CB7 as my CB7 has a huge dichronic color head. The head with the large hose and cooling fan. Kind of looks like something out of a sci-fi b movie prop.

    I have been studying the manual for the MXT(PDF) and it is really confusing. The initial writeup in the beginning clearly state the the "condenser assembly contains two 6 1/2 " optical glass condensers and filter drawer. The parts list at the end indicate the condensers are larger at 7 1/8" and 7 3/8." Just to muddy the waters a bit.

    Why not just ask Beseler? They’re in PA.

    The PDF you are looking at, does it give Beseler’s address as Florian Park, NJ or Lower Linden, NJ or East Orange, NJ or in PA?

    Thanks for all your replies! I ended up ordering a used unit from KHB Photografix.

    Great news!

    I prefer my 4X5 Beseler condenser head

    8X10 is possible too https://www.photrio.com/forum/thread...ler-45.178738/

    and many heads made for 45

    I even have this, but do NOT recomend it https://www.photrio.com/forum/thread...p.165441/print
