Quite a few enlargers for sale in Melbourne (Fitzroy) on Ebay this week...

For anyone who's interested - and some jolly nice ones too - I'd buy the colour Durst L1200 myself if I (1) Didn't already have one and (2) Would definitely be disowned bringing 'another' one home

"It followed me home - can we keep it?"

I saw that as well.

I have a feeling its Vanbars clearing out the North Melbourne store stock

[munz6869]

aaaah, yes, you're probably right - the pics look like Vanbar!

Marc!

I don't think it's Vanbar. Photo Resource has a different address (Rae St, Nth Fitzroy) and have been in business for about 30 years servicing schools, professionals and keen amateurs - probably in competition with Vanbar for a lot of stuff. I'm guessing that some of the items being offered are trade-ins that haven't moved or some dead stock and they're having a house-cleaning.

Thanks for the heads up, Marc. Now, how to explain this to my wife....hmmmmm.

It's a Durst! That should be all you need to say, right? How could she possibly not understand!

Ha ha, I was just about to reply and she walked in the door, so I told her what you said. "It's okay, it's a Durst". She said "What does that mean?" I replied "That means it's the finest quality Italian enlarger."

I just managed to get the enlarger into my tiny darkroom. Wow, what an awesome beast!

By the way, I am offering up a Durst Laborator 1000 with cold light head free to a good APUG home. (After all it was given free to me by a fellow APUGer.)

I'd be more than happy to give it a good home, I've just started getting into printing, did my first contact prints on the weekend. (And I completely understand if you decline, its only my second post on APUG )
