Hi All Happy Presidents Day,
I am still working on my darkroom and have almost completed one small goal of having a 4 x 5 enlarger. I have not been able to find a lamphouse for the Kodak Precision Enlarger. So I am gathering info to build one.
If anyone have this enlarger I would like to have the following dimensions:
1) Size of the baseboard. I had it removed by seller for shipping.
2) The distance from the bottom of the lamphouse to the approx center of the lamp element.
Good day to all and thank you.

Thank you all. I found my tripod but not my exposure meter. Maybe it will turn up. The money goes so fast that change of playthings just turtles along. I am shooting for a flash meter now.
My labors with a couple of cameras has moved a bit. Found a an almost new (no wear no scratches beautiful chrome, no shoe) Argus C3. Mounted a handle and the Sunpak on it with home made bracket. Did the same with the Esatar, found a cord/w camera mounted shoe. The RCA? fittings plug right into the C3.Found that info somewhere on the net. Got to find a way with the cord to the flash on C3.
Next step are for some trial shots and then developing.
I have been delayed by the work on the mod to the Polaroid to 4 x 5. Need to know what voltage for the Graflex synchronizing solenoid. It works too weakly with 6 volts but that may be because the battery is too small. Afraid to use 9 volts, might burn the solenoid. Anyone know voltage and battery size necessary? Have looked all over net.
Someone offered to help with my darkroom endeavors and shamefully I cannot find the email.
I resist asking any more for fear of retaliation. I like this place and do not want to wear out the warm welcome that was so generously offered. Thank you all. If anyone at all is interested in my camera modifications I will try very hard to get pics to you.

You just need a flash meter for using the flash. Incident meter for without flash.

Old camera= Eastar TLR.
Flash = Sunpak auto 433AF thermistor
Light meter = Just now realized meter missing. Was missing tripod last week, must have lost them both at same time. Must lock auto.
Anyway...
How do I set up camera and flash for a photo.
After I focus I am lost. I have used mostly auto everything for a long time.
I had a light meter but I do not think it will measure flash output. Do I need one to measure each (flash output and ambient light)?

There are plans on Ebay ($25) for plans to modify a Paroid 110A 0r b
to a 4 x 5 cut film camera.
does anyone know if this is a good conversion? Seems high for plans.
At $10. I bet he could sell three times as many and not have so much investigation.
Help anyone?
Thank you.
