=======================
Chromegatrol I Power Supply
=======================
From the owners manual;
The Chromegatrol is a single control console which incorporates a power
supply with a Ferro Restorant Stabilizer and
a dual range professional electronic timer. The lamphouse simply plugs
into the back of the unit matching the requirements
of the 250W Chromega lamp and providing stabilization between 95-130V
_+2%. It will also accept safelight lamp(s) up to 200W, which
automatically turn off during "focus and expose" modes. The timer can be
set with a dual range selector switch for 0-9.9 seconds in .1 second
increments or 0-99 seconds in 1 second increments. The electronic timer
satisfies most critical color printing requirements with an accuracy of
+2%.
=============
3 Lens Turret
=============
From the owners manual;
The lens turret permits you to change lenses instantly by merely
rotating the turret. For use on the turret, lenses are mounted to the
proper oval l ens plate, and the lens plates are fastened to the turret
by means of the knurled screws supplied. To insert the turret, grasp the
turret with the metallic grip towards you. Insert it between the lens
stage guides and push all the way into the stops.

Also, evidently the gentleman that I purchased the unit from had a pin
registration rig. It has 3 home-made negative carriers and a few pieces
to the jig though I can't locate the jig itself. In point of fact it was
simply something that he had picked up from Staples or other office
supply house though it did seem to work well.
=================================
The carriers are in generally good shape except the 4x5 glassless as I
took a Dremel to it in an effort to show the edges of the negative. The
glass 4x5 carrier is virtually brand new as I purchased it only about 3
years ago and have hardly used it. You may be surprised but that carrier
sells for $130 @ B&H.
The lenses are in excellent condition with the exception being the
aperture ring on the 135. For some reason it binds when switching
apertures.
The Chromegatrol works quite well and I recently replaced the relay so
it should be good for another 20 years.
The enlarger works well with only one annoying light leak around the
negative stage. I did open the head up and give it a good cleaning when
I first purchased it about 5 years ago.
