Smile Gnome Alpha De-luxe

So yesterday (Saturday) I bought and collected a Gnome Alpha De-luxe enlarger from eBay. This is my first enlarger and I am struggling to work it. To start there is no negative carrier supplied with it but there was two sheets of glass that the seller said he had made to use as they were not sold with carriers new, I understand to place the film between the sheets and place it into the enlarger.

When enlarging an image it seems to produce very small images with 35mm that cannot be correctly focused? Is the enlarger only compatible with 120 and large format?

The lenses attached to the enlarger is actually part of the enlarger and cannot be remover and is also stook with the aperture wide open. Any techniques to loosen it up?

If anyone has ever used one of these enlargers or would be able to tell me how to get an image in focus with it using 35mm negs it would be of great assistance.

Overall for £5 with a load of paper, chemicals, safelight, trays and easle thrown in I cannot complain.

Thanks in advance,

Luke
