I think the enlarger Ed is writing about is a Kodak Precision Enlarger, which
came with interchangable 4 X 5 diffusion and 35 mm--2-1/4 X 3-1/4 condenser
heads. I used one for a number of years with the smaller head, but have
replaced it with an Omega B-8 which I prefer. Still, the Kodak is a good
enlarger whose only faults are long exposure times (even with a 150 W #212
bulb) and the tendency of the upright pole to interfere with the easel on
larger prints. I keep mine to use (with a full set of condensers and excellent
Kodak Projection Ektar lenses) in the unlikely even that I ever buy a summer
house.

the fan was turned off during exposures. I bought an identical enlarger at a
flea market in NY and discovered that it covers slightly larger than 4 x 5.
This made it more usable for my panoramic negatives. My RIT experiences were 50
