Instruction manuals

[Digital Matt]

This is probably more of a gripe than a question per sé. I can't believe that I can't download an instruction manual in pdf format for my Beseler 23C II enlarger. It seems there is a market for selling the manuals on Ebay, and at photo stores. What a rip. $7 for the manual, plus shipping.

If you know of a place to download a manual, please, let me know I'll probably end up looking at it twice.

At the bottom of the page is the reprint. If you enlarge and enhance in PS you can just about read it. Best I can do.

Hehe, thanks Hertz

My resolution is 1600x1200, and that is some TINY print I can't read it. I might just break down and buy the manual. It would be nice to have it around.

Is this what you want? I dunno if the XL makes a difference.
This is the website I got it off... looks like there's a lot of manuals there.

Thanks Meysha The 23C XL is just a larger version of what I have, and there are some slight differences in design, but overall, very close. That helps a ton. Thanks
