Anyone know where one could buy for reasonable price, or find plans for one of the enlarger tables with moveable shelves? I have an old Beseler 45MXT that's not fast to align, so don't really want to project on the wall and turn it sideways. I know I've seen these things mentioned, but can not turn up where any more.

Yeah, they're really easy to build. We made one for our old darkroom out of two old counters, some narrow pieces of wood for the rails, and part of an old countertop for the baseboard....pretty high-tech! Of course, when we got our new lab, we bought a few Kreonite enlarger stations. They've got a nice drop table designed for the MXTs...but you can get by just fine making it yourself. You can find plans in a number of those how-to books like "The Darkroom Handbook" etc.
