The C67 chassis was initially introduced
with the dichroic colorhead as the Super Chromega "C" Dichroic
Enlarger. It was not until 1976 that the condenser lamphouse was
made available and the name C67 was applied to both condenser
enlarger and chassis.
The column
was an XL length double-wall girder with rack and pinion elevation
control. Lens mounts used were the same as for the B66, but
negative carriers were unique. (Later C760 carriers can be used with
the C67, though they do not work as well as the originals.)
Essentially, it provided the same features and professional quality
as the D5 enlargers but in a medium format enlarger at a lower
price.
When the
C700 Dichroic Lamphouse was introduced, the Super Chromega C
Lamphouse was discontinued along with the Chromega B Dichroic
Lamphouse, so for the last year of its production, the C67 was sold
with the C700 colorhead.
Used Advice: The C67 is fully
serviceable, but some parts may be expensive if they need to be
remanufactured. Plastic parts in the elevation lock system were
prone to breakage. |
