Beseler Enlarger Questions, for the darkroom gurus out there

[C and LJ]

Greetings all. I have the opportunity to procure a Beseler Dual Dichro S Enlarger with Colorhead.

It is in excellent working condition, bellows as pristine, lens is clean. $65 US, 41.38 GBP.

Worth it? Comments? I am not well versed in these. I haven't done darkroom work in ages, but am wanting to get back into it.

Your advice would be greatly appreciated.

Tagging Jinx and Jordan Anderson here, as their advice is always worthwhile.

Thanks!

@jinximages @icywarm tagged em here cause I don't think the tags in the thread paragraph hit the in box. I'll be interested in what they have to say too.

Excellent name in DKRM equipment. I used Beseler enlargers for years and they are worth the money you pay for them.

Yes.

Prices for that stuff (in good nick) are only going to go up. I'd probably be looking at $200 or so here in my town for something like that. The caveat is, I've been out of the darkroom, so to speak, for quite a few years - Ice-man might show up here and tell you you're paying too much...
