My local art institute was donated a complete Zone Vl enlarger with lens boards, timer/controller and some neg boards including one that kind of stretches a 4x5 negative? The whole thing was disassembled and in storage for years. It came with the installation manual and I have it put together and everything seems to work. Being it is a 5x7 enlarger it incouraged the photo dept chair to seek out a 5x7 neg carrier for it as the institute has nothing this large in their darkroom. I ended up finding one for them and they purchased it. In addition to the carrier it came with what appears to be some kind of lens cone. I find no mention of this is any literature that came with it and can not figure out its use. The bolt pattern doesn't match a lens board or anything else I can find on the enlarger. I have included a couple pics of it.
