Zone VI 5X7 enlarger

Recently I wall mounted a Zone VI enlarger with a 5X7 VC head. I am

not sure of the model and year. I have taken on this enlarger with no

previous experience. Never even have laid eyes on one till now. I

can tell it is a fine machine and have great expectations. Having

little instructions available to me, I am having trouble figuring out

which of the many hex screws are for adjusting film and lens planes.

And the mixing chamber is projecting discoloration around some of the

edges, The plexiglass is fine and not the problem. If someone would

be kind enough to talk by phone I would like to speak soon, primarily

to discuss the hex screws and leveling the planes. I could call in

the evening, 8-10pm EST. This is when I could be physically in front

of the enlarger. elronster@msn.com.

Thanks,

First you need to determine if it is a type two or type one. Easy enough if it is a type two it has two columns holding the lens plate, if it is one then it is a type one. If your enlarger is a type one and you are willing to call Mèxico e mail me and I will send you my phone number. If it is a type two I cant help you as Calument changed the arragement of the board. At least is what I understand.

 

OTOH maybe a free call to calumet might help you also.

I have a ZoneVI VC 5x7 enlarger with the instructions. If you are interested I can send them to you.

You can also call Calumet for a set of instructions. They are very cooperative and helpful with such things. I'm not sure whether they can help you with other problems on the phone, but I would certainly ask.
