Horrible to think that I'd rescued this (no charge to me as long as I hauled it all away) from a local medical school that was about to junk the entire thing! And sad to think that my own circumstances about fifteen years back did not allow me to hang on to it.
While the Multiphot may not have allowed the kind of extensions typical of the better purpose-built enlargers (Durst, DeVere, Etc.) - I'm sure it would still have done an admirable job.
