  • Condition: In pretty good condition for its age. As you can see in one of the pictures, there is a slight amount of corrosion on the stanchion...I don't think it will affect its operation. Also, it looks, in one of the pictures, like the lamp housing is dented...it isn't (its a reflection). The box is a little ratty, but serviceable.

    Description

    Several years ago, one of my daughters wanted to be a photographer.  I bought her a nice high end film camera.  I also bought this used enlarger, not knowing a thing about film, or developing it, or enlarging stuff.  But neither of them got much use because she wanted a digital camera instead.  The film camera she took with her when she moved away, but this enlarger has been packed in a box in the basement for years.  It is time for it to go.  Whatever it sells for will go to the daughter (after all, it was hers;').
    I know almost nothing about photography, so can't say whether it works or not (other than to say that the bulb, when inserted into the lamp, will light when the switch is turned on).  What you see in the pictures is what I am selling.  I went looking on the internet, and it appears this model originally included a lens.  This unit DOES NOT HAVE A LENS.  That said, I think it looks sort of cool, kind of science-fictiony, but I have nowhere to put it on display.
    I'll ship it in the original box, but with brown paper over it for a bit more protection.  Probably throw in some bubble wrap or something, too, although this is the box it originally shipped in so it should be good.
