The drawer is for filters - either VC or color. And you could put head absorbing glass but I think that enlarger already has it. Blow out the condenser head and get it nice and clean. When you use the Dichro head I think you have the option of doing it with or without the condensers - can't remember if that feature is a Dichro II feature or not.
Never forget to loosen the holding knob when you crank the arm to raise the head... ppro > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Bob Rapp > Sent: Sunday, December 30, 2001 5:51 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: Questions for Beseler 23CII Users > > > > Hi Shel, > The answer is yes.
