I found a JPL 7452 dichro enlarger used, and Mr. Drew was EXTREMELY helpful with documentation and support for the equipment....this was part of the info he sent me in regards to my Saunders enlarger. Email me if you'd like his email addy. Hope this helps! - --kim - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
