One of them is a Ic with a 50 lens. I can't remember the other. They've been there for years so I'd bet that the price would be good. No doubt their previous owners had seen the error of their ways ;-). I can check them out for anyone who is interested.

I arrange for a proper burial. I can give you a hand with the procedures.... ! I use a modern German enlarger, which I have no complaints about. However, I will NEVER forget that one time I got to touch a focomat. Oh... the feel of perfect mechanics, I just love perfect mechanics.... But since I can use my current enlarger for negatives of up to 6x9 (and I do indeed use that format), I'm not in the market for a 35mm-only enlarger. Bernard
