Jim,

That's a Kamm chassis with an 8x10 Chromega F Dichroic head - without 
looking at the auction details! Exactly the same as mine, together 
with exhaust fan. The heavy bits are the counterbalance weights and 
when you disassemble the enlarger to move it, all the wires will come 
off their guides. Loads of fun for the darkroom enthusiast ;-)

Reading the description, the seller calls it a Camm - it is in fact Kamm.

It is a great piece of kit - one handle wheel raises and lowers the 
head, the other is for moving the lens standard for focusing. Each 
wheel has a locking device - after a bit of practice you can use your 
knee to hold the unlocked wheel when making coarse adjustments.

It's definitely worth the trip to pick it up if it doesn't go much 
beyond the opening bid. You'll need a van or truck and some strong 
friends!

Cheers,
        Clive
