Lew,

Sorry I cant give you an exact answer, but as the former owner of a "normal" 
Omega, and former user of the XL model, I can tell you its TAAAAAAALLLLLLL. 
I would be surprised if it could be installed in a darkroom with a normal 
residential height ceiling and not have the easel well below waist level. 
There's probably ways to make it work, but I did just fine with the normal 
one by having a table with a drop center for bigger prints. There was a 
short time where this stuff was cheap with all the labs going out of 
business. Cant imagine the bargain basement prices are still around, though.

Subject: [Leica] Omega XL question

I'm setting up a new darkroom and I'm looking to purchase a used XL version
of either the B22 or C67. The thing is I don't know how high the XL columns
for these enlargers are and neither does anyone selling them. Can any of
the old hands on the LUG help out with this info?
