Help with Zone Vl enlarger

Sounds like you found negative carriers and solved the lens board question.
If you need more lens boards you can have them machined by the universities machine shop - there should be a thread around here that has more information about that. I went through a similar process for my University and can dig up information too if you need it.

I have determined that this is a Type 2 enlarger and the accessory 5x7 neg carrier is type 1. I seems to work but is not very stable. A bigger issue I have discovered tonight is the plastic column track is damaged is several spots. Sections are virtually gone. It is very delicate in spots and looks as it would crumble very easily. Is there a replacement available for this? Something tells me there isn't. I can't believe they made the track out of plastic! It appears the head can just be shoved up and down the column but this isn't a very precise way to work.

I don't recall the track specifically, but build quality is why I sold mine and bought a Durst.

Contact Richard Ritter about the material to replace the focusing track. It would be helpful to post here whenyou ID the replacement product.

I can't make out anything on that website. Looks like it's all electronic connections and such. Flex e gear in the search bar returned nothing.
