The enlarger is in generally great cosmetic condition but it has a couple of issues that may be easily remedied by an experience Durst user.
Issues:
- The focus knob doesn’t move the bellows, if manually assisted it does move but unless it is persuaded it will not move.
- The lamp although working does seem to have a very slight flicker, I’m not too sure if this is the bulb or whether I’m just being critical but there is a light flicker.
- I bought a Negative carrier for the setup as I didn’t have one and although it is a Durst Siriolab and completely correct for the enlarger, I am unsure if the mask provided works with the lens fitted.
- The swing in red filter is a third party offering as the original was missing.
- I cannot guarantee that the lens is fungus free, I have never had much success in spotting it but to my untrained eye it all looks fine.
Apart from this it is a completely accurate and working Durst M605 with the colour dial in head. The baseboard is in very good condition and the vertical adjustment works really well too.
See the photographs as they will probably impart more information than I can provide.
I will break this into three component parts to ship unless the buyer wishes to collect by hand.
