I've got the OTONEG in front of me :
if you open it, the upper part have, in the front, a chrome plated part
which can slide (there is a "handle" you can see when it is closed) this
"handle" hold, with the two chrome plater near the hinge serve to hold
the upper glass. I hope you own one...
The lower glass is secured in a different way: the fixed stop is at the
front of the carrier, and is a black metal (steel ?) sheet. You remove
the glass by moving the center rear holding "thing" which is at the
center of the glass.
The glassless neg inserts are called OTOPFE with a figure for the format
: 45 for 4X5, 69 for 6cmx9 cm, and so on. they are made of to metal
plates (thick and heavy) one perforated, the other one with "bumps"
going into the matching holes. I own a set of OTOPFE, but do not use
them, as they are badly corroded and I do prefer a glass carrier. (it is
way better to hold a neg. flat and worth the trouble keeping them clean)
Normally the upper glass is/was anti newton style. they where called
OTOGLASS (but you can find replacement easilly if you go to ask an
enalrger repairman).
I wonder what kind of neg carrier you had with the Pavelle head because
when I look at the manual which came with the enlarger, the neg carrier
do not looks like an OTONEG II (maybe it is an OTONEG firts version ?) ?
If you need any infrmation, feel free to ask !
