Hi Chris,

Indeed, I will need to switch to the 75watt bulb, I'm not sure how the 
previous owner used a 150watt? In any case I am pretty sure that the 
condenser is in great condition but unless I am mistaken the Ia model 
were never fitted with the AN glass. Actually I am not sure where I 
would install the AN ring/glass. There doesn't seem to be space for it, 
as the enlarging head doesn't tip back like the Ic model. Will have to 
find a good solution for that, but I will need to see about the Ilford 
filters as well. It also came with two exposed 8x10 photos taped to the 
baseboard. Any reason for that? I imagine that this won't be only only 
enlarger but it is a great start. I wouldn't mind a IIa or IIc for the 
larger formats, but first things first... Thanks again for the help. L.
