Compact enlarger?

[MattKing]

If you have enough room (a cupboard?) for a cart with an enlarger on it, and storage in it, you could use a somewhat larger enlarger, and just roll it back and forth between your work area and your place of storage.

Durst M600 series enlargers were designed to be easily broken down and put into a drawer. Take up to 6x6. The M300 was the 35mm variant. $5 to $50 w/o lens, depending on luck. Be sure it comes with lens boards/adapters, the negative carrier and the filter drawer.

For 35mm a Leica 1C provides the highest quality for the footprint. The Leica Valoy is even smaller without autofocus. However, if you must enlarge 6x6 the Durst 600 is one to look at.

For strictly 35mm I'd suggest a Durst F30 or similar. Once you start looking at 6x6/6x7 or larger the problem is the column. It is large, tall, and not easy to remove from the baseboard. I have my Durst M605 condenser unit broken down in storage and it takes up considerable space. The Durst uses a metal spring as a counter balance for the head weight, so you couldn't trim the column if you wanted to - not that I would recommend that sort of vandalism!
