I am new here. I followed Mr. Knoppow to here from usenet. (Hello, Richard!)
I have been rebuilding a Saltzman 8x10" enlarger which is missing a
light source. The condensers are in good condition, I prefer condenser
enlargers and I'd like to have an appropriate hot head made. (I am very
fortunate to know an excellent sheet-metal fabricator who makes custom
devices for our local composites-material factories.)
I have no clue as to the design of the original tungsten source head. I
have Focomats (I and II) and their design uses a single frosted bulb and
a matte-silver reflector. Is there a single, large-enough bulb to work
for an 8x10" enlarger? (The condensers are 14" in diameter). I have a
hot box originally designed to light natural specimens; it uses six
tungsten bulbs. Would it make more sense to use multiple bulbs?
Can anyone point me to a good source for head designs?
Thank you,
John
