Multigrade mixing box
Hi all.
I have managed to pick up a Ilford Multigrade 500 enlarger set up which is in very good condition. Unfortunately it only came with a 35mm Light mixing box. Has anybody got a 6x7 or a 5x4 mixing box they would be willing to sell me??? Thanks Russ |

Russ,
If no one has one try John Boyce at: http://www.odyssey-sales.co.uk/ Unfortunately these items are becomming hard to get hold of these days but Odyssey will be able to help. The 5x4 mixing box on these heads can manage formats from 35mm to 5x4. That's all I use and have done so for many years. Neil.

Odyssey
Neil.
Are Odyessy still in business. I have tried to E-mail them twice with no success and the telephone contact number on their website is unavailable. On the subject of the light diffusion box it turns out I need a 6 x 7 light box not a 4x5 as previously mentioned. The set up I have aquired is mounted to a Durst M805 chassis and column which will only print up to 6x9. This is not a problem for me as I only print up to 6x8 max. Having said all this is there anybody willing to sell me a 6x7 mixing box or at least send me some pictures and dimensions of one so I can attempt to fabricate one myself. Many thanks Russ |

You will also need the adaptor plate for the medium format box.

Russ, Yes they are still very much in business as I bought a De Vere item from them only a short while ago. John Boyce (Mr De Vere) delivered it personally as he was in our area visiting some of his clients. They are out of the office sometimes servicing and installing equipment so I would keep on trying as they should have either a 5x4 or 6x7 light mixing box. Neil.

Lightbox
Hi all.
Many thanks to all who replied to my requirment for a lightbox. Tom (one of our FADU members) has kindly sold me the correct item and it is now fitted. I can now print my 6x45 and 6x7 negs with my Ilford 500/Durst combination. Thanks everyone Russ |

You will need the 5x4 kit that moves the lamps and holders away from the rear of the unit making them line up with the holes in the sides of the 5x4 mixing box.
I ended up making my own with some long machine screws and several nuts.....but it worked fine. Mike |
