<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2812112, member: 19463&quot;]My contraption is the frame retrieved from a Durst M600 enlarger which I bought while in college c. 1966.&nbsp; The head and other parts bit the dust years ago but the frames from old enlargers are not hard to find because they are the last part to break.&nbsp; I have owned, in the past, iron frames from cut film enlargers that would serve as an auto jack.&nbsp; I do not recommend you go searching for one of these because a full, working unit would be an antique and most people threw out the uprights when the lights, etc. broke.&nbsp; There are several on eBay now but most are priced way over what I would pay especially if all I wanted was the baseboard and upright. </p><p><a href="https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&amp;_trksid=p2487218.m570.l1313.TR2.TRC1.A0.H0.Xdurst+enlarger.TRS0&amp;_nkw=durst+enlarger&amp;_sacat=625" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&amp;_trksid=p2487218.m570.l1313.TR2.TRC1.A0.H0.Xdurst+enlarger.TRS0&amp;_nkw=durst+enlarger&amp;_sacat=625" rel="nofollow">https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&amp;_trksid=p2487218.m570.l1313.TR2.TRC1.A0.H0.Xdurst+enlarger.TRS0&amp;_nkw=durst+enlarger&amp;_sacat=625</a></p><p>Of course there are many other brands of old enlargers available but people who sell them tend to overlook that there is not a lot of demand for film accessories in this era of digital cameras. </p><p><br /></p><p>For simplicity and rock solid camera support, I still recommend building one out of scrap lumber.&nbsp; </p><p>[ATTACH=full]658357[/ATTACH] </p><p>You do not need adjustable height or fancy features.&nbsp; It is much easier to fix the camera solidly to the wood and have several different heights of posts on which to rest the coin.&nbsp; It is also possible to slip a book under the support to move the support closer for smaller coins.&nbsp; If you use a little thinking, you can solve most problems without buying expensive toys.&nbsp; I have owned my stand 51 years and see no reason to throw it out but I would not replace it if it broke.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
