After some time in the darkroom making a few test prints we have - Good news/Bad news. The Good - chemicals and paper worked well together. The Bad - the enlarger is NOT aligned! After a couple of hours with allen wrenches and a laser tool, the enlarger was still not aligned. Time out for a huge cup of coffee, then off to a lumber store for a two square piece of 3/4 plywood. This is now the baseboard for the enlarger. Using the three wood screws - as before - the enlarger is NOW aligned ( I think!). Next - back in the darkroom to make more test prints. Check back for the results. (click on image to enlarge)
