Leitz V35 enlarger


Recommended Posts

I acquired a mint condition earlier model of the V35 enlarger, which had been updated with the newer bulb and housing. The bulb will not turn on. I have tried using bulbs that have been tested on similar enlargers and work, I have used power cords that work on other like enlargers, and have examined the fuse which appears to be unburned. The base of the post appears to be like new with no loose connections noted. Has anyone else experienced this or a similar problem on a V35? I would appreciate any suggestions from forum users. I know there a lot of V35 users out there.

Check the power supply with a voltmeter or multimeter. It is possible a capacitor or resistor has burned out, as these are now vintage electronic pieces. That was the case I encountered with the one I purchased about 10 years ago. a new resistor and all was fine. When I stopped wet darkroom equipment, it quickly sold for more than I paid for it.
