A Durst L1200, Leica V35, Leica 1C with Ilford MG head and a Beseler 23C, guess that makes four. Like to have a Leitz 11C, but too expensive, and nearly won an Agfa like Sean has but missed out, I believe that they are really good.

I just grabbed a Leitz Valoy ii, I plan to use for 35m work.
Have a couple MXT's one for parts the other tuned like a fine Violin.
An Elwood I had to have that I have not used or set up...
I used my 8x10 Anthony studio camera as an 8x10 enlarger with a small softbox and White-Lightning strobe as "pulsed" light source and it worked!
I have a couple old cheapo enlargers from the 1950's that are cute but mostly worthless sitting around that people "gave" me.

I assume you have an 8x10 camera? Just get a cheap monorail and turn it into an enlarger. I did it "for a day" with my old 8x10 Anthony. I wanted to make a 16x20 from an 8x10 negative. I used gaffers' tape to suspend the negative in the film gate (removed ground glass stage). The old 14" Wollensak lens was stopped down to f11 for some sharpness. For the light source I powered back a monolight attached a small softbox, and pulsed the strobe for the exposure (used model light to focus). It worked nice and made dodge/burn easy. I remember I did something like 20 pulses overall, 3 or 4 for the edges, an extra for the bottom.. IF you keep your dodger close to the lens you don't get a sharp shadow... anyway it was a bridal print that turned out nice.
