An enlarger that comes with a *desk*??? One can only blink vacantly, in
stunned contemplation...

Good lord. Have you had an engineer around to check out the house's support
beams? With a couple of 138s, adn this beast's complement of toys, the
stress on the floor must be considerably more than would be caused by the
average lounge suite, one would think.
I just had this vivid fantasy of finding such a paper roll machine, and
discovering that it was loaded with Agfa Brovira... Damn -- doesn't look
like I'll get much useful work done today, with that sort of thought
rattling about in my head.
> How are you getting on with the Durst?
Very, very well. I love this exquisite machine, and wish I had more time to
make negatives for it. Oh, if only I had it back in the '70s, when I was a
young bachelor completely obsessed with photography, and nothing else to
chew up my time...
Do you have photos of the new toy up on f32?
Cheers,
