    If one is good 2 must be better. Durst 184 rebuilds

    2 Durst 184. Shouldn’t need much but a good cleaning. 1840 color head and Ilford 500

    Few actually want a 10X10

    Those that do are preserving them for wiser young people

    I easily remember the 10X10 purges that occured on a massive scale for the last 2 decades

    they look like my drill press! those are great well built enlargers. shame not many appreciate quality anymore in our disposable society. i love stuff like that, i just dont have the space for it n if i did... my house would be a museum.

    i see your wood working machines are getting squeezed out...

    Nice find. Those are getting very scarce. I have not seen an 8x10 durst on ebay or craigslist for a while.

    Found these on Facebook marketplace. Wish one of them had the vacuum baseboard like my old L184.

    I built one from the best parts of two. One was local and the other was almost exactly 600 mi round trip.
