tobey bilek Posted April 5, 2016 Share #21 Posted April 5, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) Tobey, I respectfully disagree The first version Focotar 50/4.5 when stopped down twice is very ok. For sure up to 30X40cm. I think to learn to print, a 1c with that Focotar is fine. People can then upgrade to either one of the later two Focotars. After all, you and I also did not start using a 1c with Focotar-2 or the Schneider made Focotar, did we? And, I much prefer someone tries to repair this beautiful enlarger and learn something about it while at it. Every saved quality enlarger is a plus in analogue's battle to survive. Finally, in the past two years I found about ten short neck bulbs in 150 watt ! The 75 watt is still easier. Michael No that why I am trying to get OP started right. The correct things are not as plentiful now. He also can not solve the buib problem without making a spacer ring. And there is the issue of the machine may or may not have the AN glass to go over the condenser. I would not work without one. They be as difficult to find as the proper short neck Osram bulb. This thing is asking for trouble. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ole Fasmer Posted April 14, 2016 Share #22 Posted April 14, 2016 araldit will work fine on cast iron. Improve strength, by drilling a hole in both parts and inserting a steel pin together with the glue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
