Bessler 232 II Enlarger?
Does anyone have any comments about the Besseler232II B/W Enlarger? I found one that I am thinking about buying (for cheap).
Thanks for the help!

Are you sure it’s not a 23C II? That’s the kind I used as an undergrad, and I still own one now. It’s a simple, easy to use enlarger that did everything I needed, up to medium format. If it’s actually a 232, then I’ve never heard of it and can’t really find anything about it online.
I have used just about every enlarger made, including the 23CII. In fact, I liked the newest version so much, I ordered a three for our school. Ours have the dial in VC filters. That makes printing B&W easier. Anyway, it is a proven enlarger produced for over 40 years. You can’t go far wrong with one. Realize though that gears sometimes get stripped.
