How to change the lamp in an enlarger

greenspun.com : LUSENET : B&W Photo - Printing & Finishing : One Thread

Hi all!

I am a total newmbie to photophinishing... In fact never done it before. A friend of mine GAVE me two enlarger tonight. A LPL D6700, and a Durst 609.

Now the thing is... When I power on the Durst 609, it very quickly starts smelling like it's overheating. I would like to know how to dissasemble it to remove and change the lamp, as I suspect there might be a problem with it ( as well as some dust near the lamp area!)

Thank you!

And also... Anyone knows where I could find info on that Durst 609??? I would like to sale it, I don't think I need 2 enlargers!
