Recently stumbled into a Beseler 57MB enlarger with several extras. The lamphous e motor works but the lamphouse bulb does not. It came with a Wollensak 75mm f/4 .5 lens, a Kodak Ektanon 135mm f/4.5 lens, and a Kodak Ektanon f/4.5 161mm lens, all mounted in lens boards. The enlarger also has a hinged glass 5 X 7 negative carrier and two roll fiim carriers with adapter rings to fit the 5 X 7 lamphous e. Is this enlarger worth fixing up to use? If so will the print quality equal m odern enlarger prints? Any information about this old system is appreciated. Cli nt.
