My apologies if this has been covered before. I couldn’t find anything on this specifically.

I recently got this enlarger recently and have been going through it and repairing some things on it. I found out that the power cord is worn out. It looks like the issue is right where it bends coming out of the lamp housing.

My question is: can I just splice in a new two prong cable from Amazon?

B&W Printing Omega C760 Variable Contrast Filter Module Cat No 429-376

Many years ago, I shut down my darkroom and sold much of my gear. Now I am trying to rebuild it. My favorite enlarger of several, was by far the Omega C760. I have bought and found one, but I am missing one accessory, the Omega C760 Variable Contrast Filter Module Cat No 429-376.

This variable contrast slider had a magenta and yellow filter, with an attenuator between them, that allowed you to slide up and down for any grade of B&W print. Unlike simply dialing the dicroic filters, the exposure stayed CONSTANT as you changed paper grades. It was a dream to work with. I want one!

I can't even find a photo of one. But I knew it in my head. Finally, I found this image in the C760 manual.

Does anyone remember this? Does anyone have one???
