Need Information on Sabre S+35 Enlarger
Hi All:
A while back, I picked up a small Sabre s+35 enlarger (also labelled "an R$H Product" in a yard sale. While I realize this is only good for 35 mm film, I am restoring it as much as I can. It is missing its negative carrier. From looking at the unit, it looks as though the original carrier would have been approximately 3"x3", and the enlarger head has two indexing pins which would insert through the carrier, one on each side. Does anyone have a spare carrier for one of these (says he optimistically and with a truly dumb hope), or more realistically, does anyone have one of these they could photograph so that I could construct one... Also, and chances anyone would have a manual for this ancient toy? I am just getting back into at least processing my own films, and am looking for an inexpensive developing tank for 120 mm. and 35 mm. film as well? Many years ago, I processed my own films, and now that I have a number of good 120 cameras (Bronica, Rollieflex, Yashica D) in the collection and no nearby labs, it is time at least to develop my own film again.

Need Information on Sabre S+35 Enlarger
I have made carriers from matte board for many old enlargers
for odd formats so that might be a place to start if you are just itching to make a print. It's also possible that another enlarger would have a carrier so similar that the substitute might work without any filing or bashing. More common 35mm only enlargers would be the Bogen line and the smaller Omegas (Some Bogen carriers are a simple 2-part hinged design some are a more complicated hinged affair). Don't know where you are located but hope this is a start for you. Dave Hunter wrote: Hi All: A while back, I picked up a small Sabre s+35 enlarger (also labelled "an R$H Product" in a yard sale.
