It turned out to be someone's heirloom. Since he wasn't into photography he was desperatly trying to get rid of it. He wanted Hfl 100,- for it (about $50). Upon closer examination I discovered the enlarger was a Leitz Valoy II including 4.5/5 cm Focotar lens. With it was also a Leitz instruction booklet and an enlarging easel. In the Netherlands this enlarger sells for approx. 5 to 6 times the amount I payed for it, as I later found out. I still hope to stumble upon a Leica M body or lens sometime... - -- Bert Keuken "Never chant your mantra while eating lentil stew, it gets your T-shirt dirty."
