I'm wondering if you're experiencing an extreme case of this.
To fix this, I cut the light out of the regulating circuit by connecting it directly to AC wall with a rectifier spliced into one side. The rectifier cut's the voltage down to the 87v that's recommended for the lamps intended for this enlarger. To substitute for the regulation circuit, I installed an extra light sensitive cell (that I happen to have_ for a Zone VI compensating enlarging time.
Works great now.
