I can send photos to interested parties. It is in near mint condition- baseboard is clean and sound. $950 + shipping.for the LUG. Also: Focomat Ia autofocus enlarger- This one has been professionally rewired, the baseboard has been lightly sanded and refinish- no easel, though. This is a partial restoration- I don't have the DOORX extension ring (KEH has one for $10), and I was outbid trying to get a negative carrier, but otherwise, this is a nice user Leitz enlarger. I rebuild and restore Leitz enlargers as a labor of love, but She Who Must Be Obeyed says I have too many in the spare bedroom, so consider this an inventory clearance sale!! This is a deal at $125 + shipping! Focomat Ic Autofocus Enlarger- This is a fully rewired Focomat- it was the older style Color enlarger with the voltage control rheostat, but that was not on the enlarger when I got it. However, the enlarger has been professionally rewired to meet modern standards! It includes a very nice easel (8x10), and the DOORX extension ring. I have the 50mm/4,5 Focotar with it, but even though it is relatively clean, I would suggest a trip to Sherry just to make it perfect- there is a bit of haze in it. This one is otherwise complete with the red filter, the two autofocus detent markers, the internally lit enlargement scale, and both the 24x36 and a Minox 8x11 negative carrier. The baseboard is in great shape, and photos can be provided for the interested party. It includes both a manual for the regular Focomat, and a copy of the Focomat Color Ic manual. This one has the extra long 48" column, and is as heavy or heavier than the V35. Rock solid and in great shape! This one is $500 + shipping. I was an eletronics technician in the Navy, and so am familiar with what we called 'primary power'- I have rewired the older enlargers using UL approced wiring, and they have been tested thoroughly. Since they are wired through the column into the baseboard, I have to partially dis-assemble to ship, but will include detailed instructions on setting them up. Thanks! Dan Post dpost@triad.rr.com
