My school has a few of these enlargers and someone turned the yellow handle that locks down the negative cartridge and broke the handle. I have tried the "big stores" with no luck.If anyone has this enlarger and is parting it out, I would buy both handles if possible. If you know of where I could find the part, please respond!
Thanks, Frank

Can't you make up something that will work?
I used repair the photo gear for the Community College and had to fabricate any necessary parts because they had no money.

I did it! Went to a hardware store and noticed stove/range knobs that had five inserts that would fit different shafts. This one was round with part of it shave off so it looked like the letter D from the end. The third one which was grey, fit nicely and with the new 'handle one it worked fine.
I had a brain freeze because I wanted a yellow one like the one that was broken. Once I got past the 'matching color' part, I was fine, just had to get past my own cerebral-rectal collision (head in butt).
Like you cgchief, it's a community college with limited $ for the arts, and I have improvised, jumped into the deep end of the pool and learned how to swim I think is the best way to explain it.
So two weeks of thinking about how to make one, phoning every camera repair shop I could think of and the internet, a five minute repair is complete! Thanks to Wall-E and cgchief for your input!
