Also, the lifting levers on mine seem out of alignment. On the top set of lifting levers, when the one on the left is all the way down, the one on the right is slightly higher. I assume they're both supposed to be even so they lift the head evenly but as it is, I can't attach the right side arm to the head because it is set higher than the screw hole, when the left side arm is screwed in. This enlarger was abused and misaligned when I got it. The teeth on the rear evelvation gears were totally shredded, and that doesn't happen to an Omega unless it is badly misaligned. I have absolutely no idea how the guy who used it before me managed. So I am guessing somehow he set it up wrong from the get go. There is a hex nut on the lever, which I think can be loosened to raise/lower it?
