A bottom stage for the lens board was made by somebody in the 90's for
Beseler enlargers as you just can't align them.  Its odd. You can an Omega
and most others certainly a Durst. If those stages can be obtained you'd be
in much better luck. I'd get an alignment calibration device a laser or
better yet a http://www.zig-align.com/
