of course you can ask, when i rang i was told i could have the lot, i had no idea what i was getting or in what condition. the next day i rang to confirm and the person said there had been alot of interest after me so the lots had been split in twain, i got one enlarger and someone else got the other. which i think was the fair thing to do.
i was looking at other equipment on donedeal.ie, there was also some on adverse.com
i am using both 35mm and 120mm
hope those websites help if dont already know them.
Hope you enjoy the Eddie Ephraums book guys. I found it great and am still finding it great.
It was Eddie Mallin that recommended it to me originally and I am glad he did
