Is this a fair asking price? Additionally, would the current day appeal for it be only that it "handles like a Leica" in the darkroom, for it isn't collectible, correct? Thanks again from "one not yet worthy." Jeffrey >> I bought one in 1958 for $98.50 and a Focotar 50 mm lens for another $50 so $200 probably is not too bad a price. Remember that it has a limited enlargement capability unless you swing it around so the image is on the floor. It is a nice enlarger but be sure to check the condenser to see if it is damaged and, above all, be sure the negative holder is part of the deal. Don R.
