Light traps on Durst Laraneg, picture requests.

[ic-racer]

I'll soon be fitting a CLS head to my Durst L1840 and my Laraneg negative holder never came from the distributor with the 3 light traps because my enlarger came fitted with a coldlight and they used tape for the seal.

The CLS head I'm gettng comes with a Negateil negative carrier, which has a different arrangement of the light traps; the pieces wont work on the Laraneg.

Of course I can always just put the new Negatiel on my current enlarger, but if I want to keep using my simple Laraneg I have a feeling I'm going to need to make the light traps.

The three traps in question are shown in this picture BA80.116, BA80.118, BA80.121:

So, if anyone has dimensions on these and any additional info (like is there felt on the underside of these?) any info is appreciated.

Also, if anyone has anything like this in a box of stuff, I'd buy them from you.

there is felt on the side that goes against the lamp house

Wow, fantastic, thanks for posting that. Now I also see where those thumbscrews go. There is that extra black piece that I don't have. I also see that I would need "U" stock and not "L" stock to make the pieces.

The black piece is massif 8 X 15 mm extending 10 mm on the aft of the laraneg.

One of these paints matched my chassis exactly. I think it was the Gray.

Followup on this thread from 2009. I never made the complex light trap for my Laraneg. What happened is that I got a Negateil negative carrier and it came with a Negadap 2000 light trap. It turns out that simple light trap worked just fine with my Laraneg also.




Also, I got this picture from MS and it looks like an identical assembly that would fit on a Laraneg called the Lagradap 2000.
Perhaps the Lagradap 2000 replaced the complex light trap on the later manufactured Laraneg carriers?

Correction. After doing some measuring it appears that both Negadap 2000 and Lagradap 2000 block the door on the Laraneg from opening all the way.
