Need lightbox Durst M805 Multigraph or picture

[swdick]

Hello
I'm looking for the 6x9 lightbox for a Durst M805 Multigraph.
However If I can't find one I'm thinking of building one. For this I need the size of the box including the size of the windows on both sides.
Has the Multgraph originally a filterdrawer?

Can anyone help me?

Thanks
Dick.

I think this is for the original M805.
The Multigraph comes with a different box: the MG 69/805.
That's the one I'm looking for.

Ok how about this. It has the red button on it, do you think that will fit? I have pictures of Multigraph 805 enlargers with the red button boxes on them.

Searching through my archive of Durst literature, this is all I can find so far:


The drawing shows the "optional" boxes available. The other text in the document indicates that the MG-69 box that you are looking for is the one that came standard on the enlarger.

It looks like it but the typenumber is different.
I don't know whether it would fit
Is there anyone who has both lightboxes: the one for the colorhead and the one for the Multigraph. If so please check if they can be exchanged.

Hi
There are a number of options
1: contact Roger Francis ex Durst technical Rep he has lots of spares and accessories available and he may be able to assist, contact me for his E mail address.
2 Failing that speak to Terry at Northern Photo the official Durst warranty agents in the UK they also keep spares
3 Durst still sell these on their website 272 euros!
4 If all else fails make one but they are a real thing of beauty and unless you really have to I would spend a little time trying to find the real thing. If you do end up having to make one I can give you the dimensions.

Just to clarify the box for the multigraph is similar to the standard colour mixing box but much deeper. A standard box will not fit!

Thanks. I'm lucky, the original boxes have been found.

For the sake of completeness, can you post some pictures of them?
