Zenith UPA5 Enlarger

Had one of these years ago. Looking for another one. The melting foam issue is not a problem as long as the device is in decent condition and working.

I should have at least one in my loft. I'll check if you wish. There was a mod you could do to it to make it manual focus as opposed to autofocus as well, if I remember correctly. Am trying to visualise the way that was set up as it was a third party device rather than TOE.

That would be great. I can only remember it being manual focus. For anything larger than 10x8 I used to turn the head around and project onto the floor.

In which case the one you had was fitted with the manual adaptor (a knurled knob which worked vertically); they were definitely autofocus as it was the usual Soviet copy of a Western device, in this case a West German Leica enlarger (Leitz Focomat).

I'll pop into my loft about 11 this morning; I've been a member for years, but started listing only yesterday so haven't put everything on yet. There'll be a message later.
