I have the VC head which I find really great to use, especially since I only do B&W. I had really good service out of my old one which came from a newspaper company and I'm sorry I ever sold it. The new one is really in unmarked condition. The bulb it uses is the Philips 31-139 and thus has the later lamp holder. I disasembled the bottom part my old one to fix up the masking blades before I sold it. This involved removing the platform that the negative carrier sits on. What a hairy job that was. However I got it all back together and it worked perfectly. _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
