I am trying to locate the following accessories for my Vivitar 6 enlarger: a 6x7 conversion kit (comprising neg carrier and condenser) and a 6x6 neg carrier.

These parts are impossible to locate in Australia, but if anyone knows of a supplier that will take mail order (or if anyone has spares they're willing to sell) I'd love to hear from you.

Regards Miles

Hi down under, if you're still interested in some Viv VI enlarger parts. I bought one new more than 10 years ago. Then they were discontinued by the manufacturer who continued to sell remaining parts for some time, but no longer. The 6 X 7 condenser set and negative carrier were not available during the sell off period, I tried. I also advertised in Shutterbug a couple of times for these parts -- never any response. You'll be very lucky to find these parts. Then, my enlarger was stolen from storage about 6 years ago and I no longer have it. But, the good news for you, I still have a 6 X 6 negative carrier and a 35mm negative carrier. I also have at least one, I think 2 lens boards, and the original book of information that Vivitar shipped with the enlarger. Let me know if you still need the negative carrier and/or any of the other parts and book which is now of absolutely no use to me.

Best, Todd in Tarzana, California.
