I bought this Beseler 67CP enlarger in the early 1980s in anticipation of doing darkroom work at home: I had a huge backlog of black-and-white film (exposed in Germany) to develop. The darkroom never came to pass;
this fine object sat unused for more than 20 years.

Eventually I came to my senses and accepted the fact that I will never do darkroom work at home or anywhere else. With that decision hurdle behind me, I was able to allow this fine optical device to be adopted. It now lives in the proper type of home: the darkroom of Kris Frederick. At long last this fine tool can wallow in the aromas produced by developer, stop bath, and fixer.
Bye, bye Beseler.
