Default 203 Variocontrast white light???

Hi all.
Can anybody help?????
I have now completed my De Vere 203 Variocontrast power mods and all is functioning how it should as far as switching on and off is concerned.
My question is how can I get a "WHITE" light meter reading from the enlarger head??? to use with my analyser.
The large central contrast control knob which goes from grade 0 to grade 5 moves different amount of the filters in or out of the light path.
But I cannot find any lever or switch to move all filtration out of the light path to give me a "no filter reading"
Anybody come across this problem before???
many thanks
Russ

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but there is no option for unfiltered light.

Please do not shoot the messenger
