Default thanks for the welcome

I'm looking forward to the advice.

One of the issues is that it's not clear what enlarger is being used, it looks like the carrier holder has been removed and an odd spring mechanism used to push the light head down onto the enlarger. There were a number of neg holders with the gear but the studs on them did not seem to match the upper surface of the enlarger.

Hi Scott, from what I can see it's an Omega D5 enlarger. There is no "carrier holder" the light source sits directly on the negative carrier. The carriers are two pieces, unhinged in most cases. If it is a D5 the carriers will have an additional centering plate on the bottom half. My Ilford head is mounted on a beseler enlarger but I've got a D5 sitting next to it.

Hi George, thanks for that, I think you are right from your description.

I think there must have been a Beseler enlarger in use at some stage because the general gear includes some Beseler carriers amongst the general gear I looked at but they didn't match the enlarger that was mounted.
