I haven't yet detailed this. I need to check the sockets and the lining of the mixing box and basic operation. Because I have 3 of the heads, and 2 power supplies, i should be able to put one good one together without difficulty, however, I am willing to sell it as is, your choice, $1000.
For information about printing B&W using a color head check out my web page on Variable Contrast Printing using a color head.

Accessories for 8X10 Saltzman:
The Chromega F heads listed above will fit the Saltzman with little or no adaptation. The Aristo W1212 fits the Saltzman without adaptation. Because the enlarger is so robustly built and because it has such a large top plate, virtually any head may be adapted to the Saltzman. This enlarger has been sold. Some of the accessories in the storage cabinet below the enlarger are still available and are listed below. The last 3 photos are of another 8X10 Saltzman--also sold. I leave these photos up so that you can see what a Saltzman looks like.
Carlwen rollfilm carrier base and carriers for Saltzman available
Original Saltzman 8X10 filter holder. It no doubt originally held a red filter. I can supply it with a red filer for $125 or $100 without the filter.
Original cast Saltzman 8X10 lensboard. If you look closely you can see the outline of a universal diaphragm lensholder or UDL that used to be mounted on this lensboard. Saltzman made UDLs. The 4 screws held the UDL on the lensboard. 81.3mm hole size. 6.25" diameter. $100
Machined Saltzman 8X10 lensboard. The flange is for a lens with 90mm X 1mmp threads such as the 300mm Componon in lens skirt or the 300mm Rodagon or Rodagon-G. 93.6mm hole size. 6.25" diameter. Lensboard with flange, $250. Lensboard without flange, $125. 300mm Rodagon or Rodagon-G also fits this flange and this lensboard. In fact, many large format enlarging lenses have this size thread.
300MM F5.6 COMPONON, coated, Ex, $300. Add $100 for lens neatly mounted on 8X10 Saltzman lensboard. It is illustrated mounted on a GLENNVIEW made Durst lensboard. The Saltzman lensboard for this lens is illustrated above.
GLENNVIEW made Saltzman 8X10 lensboard. Black anodized aluminum. 1" Pilot hole. 6.25" diameter. $100. 2 available.
5" recessed or extension Caesar Saltzman lenscone, Ex+, $250. Lenscone has a 77mm hole + 4 screwholes where a Caesar Saltzman universal diaphragm lensholder was attached. On right in below image.
12" extension lenscone. This can be used for reductions or the enlarger may be used as a very stable macro or copy camera. This has the lensboard attachment hardware as found on the enlarger. Note that one of four lensboard retainers is missing. RARE. $300. If you want me to make the missing retainer, add $125. On left in above image.
Original Saltzman joint connector for 1.25" diameter tubing. This may be used on an enlarger or on a camera stand. $85
Original Saltzman knobs. The wood knob on the left has 5/16-18TPI threaded shaft and is $85. The 1.5" diameter black bakelite knob has 1/4-20TPI threaded shaft and is $20. The 1.5" diameter knurled aluminum knob has 1/4-20TPI threaded hole and is $25.
Original Saltzman adjustable table supports. Note that the 3 on the left are broken. OUCH! I hope no one was injured in that accident. These support the enlarging tabletop and are adjustable for alignment. $40.
Accessories for 5X7 Saltzman:
The 5X7 Saltzman enlarger is rare. I had one; it was sold to someone in Colorado. We had fun carrying it down 4 flights of stairs. As far as I know, it may have been a one-of-a-kind item because I have never seen another. It is rare enough and attractive enough to belong in a museum.
Saltzman 5X7 glassless stretching type carrier, adjustable down to 35mm film, each of the 3 little lever handles you see activates spring systems that clamp the film and pull it taught, one of 14 spring clips that hold the film is missing, RARE, $200
Original cast Saltzman 5X7 lensboard. Originally this had a 58mm capacity Caesar Saltzman universal diaphragm lensholder neatly attached; the 4 screwholes used to hold the UDL on the lensboard. 76.7mm hole size, 5.25" diameter, RARE, $100.
GLENNVIEW made Saltzman 5X7 lensboard. You are looking at the back side, which has a slight projection just like the original. 1" Pilot hole. 5.25" diameter. $100.
Saltzman top cap, Aluminum hemisphere to fit over the top of (I am guessing) either a lightstand or a 5X7 Saltzman enlarger, about 5" diameter, will trade for about 8" diameter Saltzman top cap (for camera stand or 8X10 enlarger), or $25
Miscellaneous 8X10 and 11X14 enlarger parts and accessories:
Easel from Fotar 11X14 enlarger. Looks like and is constructed like the easel on the 8X10 enlarger. Black formica covered. 42X62X" in size; it is thick too @ 1 5/8". You do not have to use it for an enlarger easel. It could be used for any purpose where you need a flat stable Formica covered substantial surface. $200
Negative stage and bellows from Fotar 11X14 enlarger. Bellows are light tight and in good condition. Negative stage has a hinged door to keep light contained and dust out. Set up to accept a pin registered carrier. No negative carrier included. Flat top and grooved side makes for easy alignment and for easy installation on your existing enlarger. Originally, this was bolted to the Fotar enlarger chassis with just 2 massive 3/4" bolts as seen in the last photograph; these bolts are included. Converting a substantially built 8X10 to 11X14 would be the easyist way to go. The 8X10 Calumet enlargers listed above would be an excellent choice. An 8X10 Saltzman would be another good choice. $400
8x10 Omega F parts: color heads listed above and on Omega list, negative carrier on Omega list
PARTS FOR BESELER 8X10 COLDLIGHT HEAD
I sold the 8X10 head to someone who was going to install it on an 8X10 enlarger of another manufacture. I have these parts remaining. The square is about 12" on a side. The L-bracket is about 10" on a side. You may have either part for $15 or both parts for $20.
