I have an Omega D5 condensor light source. It was shipped with the two fixed con densors in place in the housing. I believe the bounced against each other causin g a few small chips or scratches in the surface of each condensor. I knew this w hen I purchased the unit but since I got the whole enlarger including chassis an d baseboard for $300 I thought I could live with the chips in the condesor, unti l today. I am trying to print some shots with a large area of uniform color and of course those chips show up as a lighter area in the print. It's not bad which is why it has not been noticeable on photos with much more variation.
My question, is there a recommended repair for this short or replacing the conde nsors? Could they be polished? Has anyone ever tried the repair kits used to rep air chipped windshields? Does anyone who has switched to a cold light head wish to sell their condensors?
