You shouldn't have to cut the film into single frames. Is there a better pic of the negative carrier or could it be upside down?

i think i had it upside down lol now i feel stupid

[Denis R]

yes its there but it seems you have to cut each neg in to ones
but then it dont seem to hold them right they slide about

if that is the situation, it is for MOUNTED film "slides"

[cyberspider]

Maybe it is a kids starter enlarger. I have kids this age, but already have an enlarger for them.

You can probably sand off most of the rust on thr easel, but the, you'll have to repaint it in that same yellowish color. There are also some good deals on "the bay" for them. The Durst is a prety darn good unit, specialy for free. What lens (if any) came with it? Free is always good!

So what if its an entry level enlarger, for what you paid for it, its a good starting point. A little clean-up and start printing. We all started somewhere, my first enlarger was a 1940's era diffusion machine that I had to make a negative carrier for. Use it, and keep an eye out for a more versatile machine.
