Condition: For Parts or Not Working
This Simmon Bros Automega B7 Photographic Enlarger with Autofocus Focusing Track is being sold as-is for parts or repair. We are not able to verify whether it is functional, so no guarantee of working condition is made. The unit appears structurally complete — the column, lens stage, bellows, focusing track assembly, and wood baseboard are all present and visible. The focusing track label instructs use with a specific lens number and notes the cam pin must be inserted for correct autofocus performance; no lens is included. The column and mechanical components show surface wear, oxidation, and general age consistent with a mid-20th century darkroom instrument. The baseboard shows wear and surface marks. Please view our full photo set carefully before purchasing. Please view our photo set and contact us if you have any questions.
