    Description

    Here's a vintage Burke & James brand Solar condenser photo enlarger for film sizes up to 2-1/4" x 3-1/4" (6x7),complete and in good working condition.  Burke & James made these enlargers circa 1940-1960s for the amateur photographer.  Has a unique sliding condenser system for 35mm and medium format printing (photos show condenser in both positions).  Works well.  Condenser glass is good.
    This enlarger was wall-mounted for many years - I don't think the "non-actinic" baseboard was ever used.  It measures 22"x27" and has a few marks and scuffs from years in storage. Sale includes baseboard mounting receiver for enlarger mast, and the two original Solar wall-mount brackets (one shown in photos).
    This package includes a nice Vivitar-LU f3.5 75mm enlarging lens for medium format and a Minolta f3.5 50mm lens for 35mm work.  Both lenses are clean, unmarked, work as they should.
    I repaired bellows and installed new electrical cord from lamphouse to desktop on/off switch.  Power cord is good, switch works as it should.
    Enlarger comes with two sandwich-style negative holders, 35mm and 2-1/4x3-1/4, good working condition.
    Try your hand at film photo processing with this vintage setup!
