  I don't know.  I also have a Beseler C23 condenser, the original one 
with the blue paint and 35mm and 6x7 carriers.  I guess it will go out 
on the curb.  And the remaining chassis of an Omega D-2 4x5, but with 
all the expensive goodies having been sold on ebay.   Same fate.  I 
tried to give them to a local school with a photography program, but 
they got a grant for all new enlargers...that are now destroyed by the 
kids, not to mention that the grown-ups didn't know to store the lenses 
during the summer, so they are all full of fungus and crud.  The kids 
got RC paper to print, with enlargers that were not aligned, and 
processed the prints in community tanks with chemistry of unknown 
vintage.  I offered to teach the kids split-filter printing, but the 
darkroom guru said they would have to learn that somewhere besides in 
his domain.  How sad.
