This could be an excellent option for you, I have owned one for many years and can thoroughly recommend it with a few caveats, firstly Durst no longer supports this equipment, secondly does it include the necessary condensers for the film formats you use (otherwise they do come up on Ebay quite regularly), thirdly condition, with parts no longer available be sure it is fully functional, this one on Ebay is a later model and appears to be in excellent condition, if you would be able to collect or have it collected it might go for a really good price.

Good luck

I use a wall mounted Durst M800 and can highly recommend it. I put MG filters mounted in black card on top of the condenser. Not had any problems from overheating although I still use 150 watt incandescent type bulb. Spares for this and M700 appear fairly regularly on fleabay although they aren't necessarily that cheap. Ex-owners perhaps get a better total price by selling them piecemeal

On any discussion on e-bay most members( usually from the U.S. and this talking of U.S. e-bay) seem to think that all power lies with buyers if anything goes wrong but I'd certainly do what you intend to do. Ask direct questions and if you don't get direct answers to those questions where the seller commits to an answer that is clear then be wary.

Best of luck

Mike
