Bad news, from three wood-based Leitz-easel-owners I know of, I got two "only from my cold, dead hands" messages (although both are using more modern easels mainly). And the one in 'my' shared darkroom is suddenly "THE thing", after asking around, who actually is using the easel (it's the smaller version, 18x24 cm - 7 x 9.5 in). Certainly, there is still the Leitz-effect around. Sorry, that I can't help.

By the way, all three are two-bands-easels. Leitz made the pro version (4-band) mainly with a metal base. But one of guys I phoned with told me, that Leitz also produced some with a wooden base and the relevant grooves for the locking mechanism of the Focomat enlargers.

In any case, good luck!
