They are Kodak t-max B&W negatives

Hello, I have some negatives from a class I took and would like to print them with a used enlarger I just purchased. I was wondering if you could clean negatives with rubbing alcohol? There are some negative cleaners I have used in the past but they mostly had a very strong scent of alcohol. Will using rubbing alcohol ruin my negatives? Thanks. ~N.

Thank you so much!! ~N.

Ok thank you everyone! ~N.

Ok thank you so much! ~N.

Does the Beseler 23c have variable contrast filter options? Can you use filters with this enlarger? I know it seems like a stupid question but I saw a question similar to this about changing the heads and I want to know if I can use contrast filters before I purchase it. Thanks. ~N.

Ok great thank you! Also, since you have a 23c, I must ask, I heard there has been alignment issues with them somehow, have you stumbled across those issues? If so, how do you fix them? I am interested in buying one in my area and am trying to figure out if it would be best for me. And is it a trusty over-all enlarger? Thanks :)

Ok fantastic, thanks for all the help! :)

Hello, Does anyone know how large the Beseler 23c can print? (not 23cII or 23cIII) What is the largest size print someone could print with this enlarger? Thanks :) ~N.

I meant timer to enlarger plug, not outlet plug. I didn't know if an analog timer could be swapped for digital on an enlarger with no problem. Thanks Lex :)

Thanks Lex :)

Ok. Are they universal plugs? I didn't know if different enlargers and timers have different plug types, kinda like phone chargers you know? haha.

Hello, I am looking to purchase a Beseler 23c enlarger. It comes with an analog timer. I am wondering if there are specific timers that go with specific enlargers, or if I could just purchase a digital timer and use it with the Beseler 23c. I find the digital timers to be easier to use and more accurate, and am wondering if I will be stuck with the analog timer if I purchase this enlarger. Thanks :) ~N.
