NEED HELP ASSEMBLING ENLARGERS!!

Vash Stampede , Sep 05, 2010; 05:27 p.m.

I recently got my hands on a bunch of darkroom equipments for free. It included a Beseler 67C and a Beseler 23 C II-XL with Dual Dichro S Colorhead. They were disassembled and didn't come with a manual.
I tried assembling it but I had no clue what I was doing so I stopped before I break anything. Can someone help me with a manual? In PDF file or something? I saw some online but I'm a little tight with money right now.
Thank You!

Well darn I am tight on money too so I figure that you shipping me the enlargers and having me put them together then sending you my bill will be out of the question. Hmmm I would say that your best bet is getting a manual that is under $20.00 as I looked and I can't even find one in my big old box of crapolla for you. The Omaga 4x5 enlarger I recently put together for a gal here took me 7 hours of trial and error.

Here's a 23c manual: http://docs.google.com/viewer?url=http://blurdotblog.com/manuals/beseler_23c1.pdf&pli=1

You can probably find the 67C also. You just Google something like "Beseler 67C manual", but add another element to the search: "filetype:pdf", so it would be "Beseler 67C manual filetype:pdf" and it should find a manual for you. At least that's how I found the 23c.
