$1700??? For that???

[ChristopherCoy]

Ok seriously... $1700 for the chasis only??? You're kidding me. Am I missing something here?

Beseler 45MXT Enlarger (Chassis Only)

[EASmithV]

That's insane. The go for like $200 on the bay.

[Stephanie Brim]

That's new, not used.

[ChristopherCoy]

That's new, not used.

Still.... new or not. $1700 for chasis only? And then you still have to pay for a head?

What makes these things so special? Because without a head, all it is is a piece of bent aluminum tubing....

[MattKing]

If you adjust for inflation, that is what all those used Beseler 4x5 enlarger chassis' you see on eBay etc. sold for when they were new.

They are required to serve as a strong, stable and consistently aligned support for precision optical equipment, after all.

Why not go for the whole package?

[Stephanie Brim]

Eh, you can find it used. I wouldn't do it new unless you had to.

[Steve Smith]

I could make one for much less than that.

(this was not an offer to manufacture!).

It doesnt worth more than 150 dollars , as Steve said anyone can build it for 200 dollars price even using granite or marble.
