Ilford 500H 4x5 Light Mixing Box Needed

[MarcAeonDELETED]

Ilford 500H 4x5 Light Mixing Box Needed and an adaptor plate needed so I can get the Ilford head on a Durst L1200 column.

Or if anyone has the blueprints that they could kindly send I will make one.

Good luck

I've been looking for one of these for years.

I think there are plans about if you search. I have some instructions somewhere which I´ll post if I can find them, although they may not help that much.

You can have a complete Ilford 500 unit, but I think that´s not what you want ;-)
But I need the adapter plate myself, and I can´t sell the light box alone, sorry!

There is an article with drawings: DeVere 504
Not seen a comparable description for a Durst adaptor, but with suitable tools & materials to hand, I wouldn't have thought it would be too difficult to fabricate one.

Here's the plans for fitting the MG500 to an L1200.

I used this as a guide to making my own from some MDF since my metalworking skills are not up to it.

Mike you are an angel of devine lovelyness. Thanks mate thats really cool..

Would anyone happen to have a minute to measure and maybe photograph the 5x4 mixing box please? I will make one of those as well or better still have the local engineering company make it for me. I have the spare diffusion filters from my CLS501 head that could be used or I could take the filter out of the box itself. My guess its just a white box with two holes in it but I'd gather some confidence in seeing a real one. You chaps are very helpfull.
