De Vere 504

{"overview":"The De Vere 504 is a 5x4 inch large-format enlarger built by the British manufacturer De Vere for darkroom use with sheet film negatives up to 5x4. Values at saleroom level depend heavily on completeness — a 504 with the correct lens, condenser or colour head, negative carriers and baseboard sells for noticeably more than a bare chassis, which is why the price range is wide and condition-sensitive.","buying_guide":"Inspect the column for straightness and the head for smooth, lock-free movement, since a worn elevation mechanism is awkward to repair. Check that the bellows are light-tight, that the negative carriers and lens board you need are present, and, if a colour head is fitted, that the dichroic filters and lamp housing are clean and functional.
