     Some day labor and cheap sheving will do it.
     This appears to be the deluxe enlarger for 10x10. Note 
the twin post sup****ts for the bellows. Also, it has the 
condenser lamphouse. This was equipped with a 45 degree 
mirror to lenghten the light path from the lamp and keep the 
thing from being even taller. The head and sup****t (the 
triangular system of tubes) runs up and down the sup****t 
column by means of bicycle type chains driven by handwheels 
on the front. These are not shown in the photos. The largest 
aerial film printer had two sup****t columns. I don't doubt 
this weighs in at 1500 lbs or even more. Better have a 
strong floor as well as a tall ceiling.
     I have lusted after one of these guys since I was in 
highschool but doubt I will ever have one. They are on the 
market, along with the process lenses, because most of the 
work they were designed to do is done by digital means now.
