   I wonder what the parts situation is for Devere 
enlargers. Old Dursts are impossible. The Devere is an 
outstanding enlarger, if older ones are supportable I would 
certainly recommend them. I am an Omega user. There are very 
good enlargers and can be made more rigid by careful 
mounting but they are not a match for a good commercial type 
enlarger like the above.
