(re: saltsman enlarger, Aristo T12 cold head)

If you have the original shutter it will work well
with the cold light head, they want to run continuously.
[... snip excellent information]

No shutter came with it, but I have a 110V shutter from
old long-roll school camera that will fit in front of
either lens.

Does your Saltzman have one or two support rods for
the bellows?

It has two, Richard, with the worm-drive rod between them,
driven by a sintered bronze gear. I can make pictures to
put online if you wish.

You have the more elabrorate version of the enlarger.
The cheaper (but not cheap) one had the single support rod.
This type was also used for aerial mapping and similar
applicatons. It should have a focusing wheel to drive the
bellows. Some of the larger models also had a small
handwheel to operate the stop ring on the lens.
Photographs would be interesting, I suspect many have
never seen a Saltzman. I have an ancient Saltzman catalogue
somewhere. I really must search it out.
