That's some cool sh!t, Bill. I recall using some of that gear way back when I was just learning modes ;-)) Had A Beseler 45MCRX (I believe that was the model number) set up for wall projection. We'd play "Blowup" every now and then <LOL>
Anyway, congrats on the purchase. I really do hope you get around to setting up a nice darkroom.
