The lamp needs the housing to go with it, but that should still be on the enlarger and the bulb for the later model is the Philips 13919 which is available from Topbulb. http://www.topbulb.com/find/Product_Description.asp?intProductID=46030 I suggest you only consider the later model because the earlier model bulbs may be difficult to find. The Focotar 40/2.8 lens come up for sale on ebay from time to time at around $250-$300 range. This gentleman had one for sale recently for $255, he may still have it: bob.os@columbus.rr.com The $400 Schneider 2.8/40mm Apo-Componon HM lens is even better than the Leitz Focotar 40/2.8 but won't work on autofocus. Not a real big deal if you've got a grain magnifier and a little more time. Be careful when buying a second hand Focotar as some of them are fogged. You can get them cleaned of course but it will cost you probably $50 or more.
