"SOLD" Omega B22 Enlarger **Free** (You Pay Shipping)

photocraft Loc: Wyoming

I have a Simmon Omega B22 enlarger that needs a home. The B&W enlarger is in pristine condition having been out of the box and set up, but never used due to space limitations and houses with with septic systems. The enlarger and accessories that were part of the original package (50mm and 75mm lenses, baseboard, filter holders, etc.) are in the original box complete with the packing slips. The shipping label on the box was dated 10/23/1974.

My preference would be to give this equipment to a school or other educational facility, however an enthusiast who wants a beautiful piece of photographic equipment for the cost of shipping is welcome to it. Pick up locally for free (Etna, Wyoming south of Jackson) or pay for actual shipping cost. Best guess is shipping UPS/FedEx ground from Wyoming would cost in the neighborhood of $100.

Unfortunately schools & colleges don't want such gear . Most are closing down their darkrooms and getting rid of their equiptment . Such a shame . A few years ago when I gave up my darkroom I offered it for free to 3x local colleges . None wanted it . Put ad on Craigs List offering it for free . No responses .

Thanks for the feedback. Fortunately one of our own UHH members has expressed an interest in the enlarger so I am hopeful we can work this out. That would make me feel really good. This enlarger is such a beautiful piece of equipment and part of the photographic journey for many of us.

Very good enlarger. I used one all through college getting my BFA in photography. Then sold it to get the D2v .

Wow . I didn't know this was a spelling site . So sorry . All apologies . Think maybe instead of spending your time & energy correcting others spelling you'd be better off going out taking fotos . LOL .

How much would it cost to send UPS to Lorain, Ohio?

Using UPS online quote page, it looks like about $85 +/-. However, I have someone who is in the process of making shipping arrangements and another who has also expressed an interest. I will update everyone shortly.

Thanks to everyone who asked about the enlarger and who shared their histories. The enlarger has found a home where it will be put to good use.
