Yeah, I can't see why anyone would want those old Focomat enlargers either. 
Why don't you all just send them to me? I arrange for a proper burial.

Actually, I love Focomats. They are a joy to use. And yes, they are sturdy, 
and appropriately sized for the task at hand. In our company darkroom we have 
a Focomat 1c and an Omege D2v. Using the D2 after using the Focomat is like 
driving a truck after tooling around in a sports coupe.

Like I say, send me those Focomats.
