Wasp Enlarger

[VintageAaron91]

Hello everyone,

I was wondering if anyone could help identify my new enlarger... It was made by a company called WASP. I have attached some photos for reference, does anyone know what model of WASP it is or able to give me some idea of date please?

Thank you all in advance.

Have never seen that one before. I used a Leitz Wetzlar that looked like that one back in the 80's. Likely made in the late 40's or 1950's. And maybe takes up to 2 1/4" square negs.

On eBay there is a Wasp film loader, made in England. On the box is "The Hunter Series". Have not found much else.

Interesting if the bulbs are still manufactured. That may force a retirement right there.

Enlarger lamps are still being manufactured.
