Guys, I have instructions for building a panoramic enlarger on my web pages. The section about the lamp may be of help for any size enlarger. The Aristo type heads have pre-heated cathodes so that they stay the same brightness each time the lamp turns on. If you do not have this you need a light shutter. I have simple instructions for making that. I have had custom-size grid lamps made at neon sign shops for around $40. They will assist you with laying it out and choosing a transformer. Also the difuser placement is important. Even commercial models get that wrong! The difuser is 1/8 in. milk-white plex also found at a sign shop.
