Thornton Pickard MCC No.6 1/2 Plate Enlarger Cooke Anastigmat 7.5″ S.III No.367

S/N: 367 (lens) enlarger: ?

• A large, oak and brass, half-plate enlarger from Thornton Pickard
• Cosmetically it shows age and wear, one of the knobs is broken, the rear bellows are obviously torn
• Model MCC No.6, comes with a Taylor Hobson COOKE Anastigmat 7 1/2″ Series III f/6.5 lens, lens is separated from front panel, three wood screws will secure it
• Optics are largely clean and clear, no visible fungus or haze, plenty of dust!
• The enlarger offers illumination up to Half Plate format (6 1/2 x 4 1/4″)
• Comes with two condensers measuring c. 8 1/2″ in diameter, they are dusty
• It comes with matching Half-Plate plate holder
• All movements seem to move correctly, some more easily than others
• The internal illumination, though originally gas (I assume), was converted to electric light, but I would guess any new owner might wish to assess this and/or replace it to their satisfaction
• Dimensions approx: compacted 80 x 43 x 38cm
• Extended, about twice the length!
• We can supply lots of other darkroom equipment if needed; e.g. safelight,
  print easel, tongs, Multigrade filters, contact printer, paper, chemicals,
  dryers, etc. Please ask, we are a real camera shop in Liverpool, look us up!
• We can ship this but collection would be preferred.
• Likely shipping at fuel cost in UK, please enquire
