[LargeFormat] BIgger I say! BIGGER!!

[Verna Knapp]

Speaking of large enlargers, I am very likely to relocate cross country 
to Colorado from Oregon in the next few weeks. It is not certain yet. 
However, I own a Durst enlarger that can handle 10x10 and has a color 
head and a vacuum easel and pin registration. Could crate and take it, 
but I'm doing entirely digital darkroom these days. The only reason to 
keep it would be for "maybe I'll want to use it in the future...". I 
really have not decided what to do about this machine. If somebody 
should be interested in this, and able and willing to drive to Oregon to 
pick it up in very early July, contact me at vernak@wvi.com. I'm going 
to be off list for a week in late June (job interview for the 
relocation) so if you don't hear back right away, don't worry.
