I have an enlarger and all the bits stored in my loft, waiting.
And a yummy Mamiya RB67 Pro S to play with...

The largest I ever had was 6X6 from my trusty but now rather defunct, very very second hand 1967 Hasselblad. I'd have loved something bigger, but then, that would have required a larger enlarger, and other than the medium and large format ones at the college, I only ever had 35mm ones (second hand, of course).
If you are looking for a 35mm enlarger, I still have one in the loft somewhere....

I think we have a 35mm, don't know the condition as it was bought as part of a job lot off ebay but we haven't the room for a darkroom...yet!

Donate it to a museum somewhere!! (Quite where I'm not entirely sure).

It was a lovely thing to use, but at the end of its life, and I eventually had to 'retire' it when it seized up one too many times. It was also falling to bits (more cosmetic than anything else).
You see, once a Blad starts to 'go', that's it, it'll never quite be the same ever again apparently, and I certainly used it until it 'went'.
As for the enlarger (a humble Durst 306 (I think)), well, it does work (AFAIK), so is waiting for either myself to use it again or be given to a new owner.....

What's the difference between a banjo & a trampoline?
People take their shoes off before they jump up & down on a trampoline.

'Why in fcuks name would you dump old furniture, carpet and a matress in bushes bordering a playing field?, why not just put it at the side of the road where the council can at least see it and get rid it. Why spoil one of the few nice areas round here, just because you're too lazy to do things properly. It took more effort, risk and time dumping it where you did..and ruins the place for everyone else. You useless, lazy piece of sh1t.
thats what I'd like to say..if I knew who the hell keeps doing it.
I live on an average council estate, we're some of the last who brought ours to still be living here, the sensible ones got out. Its not a bad place, but HMOs (houses of multiple occupancy), private landlords, short term tenants with no sense of belonging or pride are ruining the area little by little.
