One of the parts on Omega D and E series enlargers that require replacement occasionally are the counterbalance springs. The clips may break off, the metal tape cracks, or the grease inside may gum up so they just don't work smoothly anymore. If the counterbalance springs aren't working properly, it becomes more difficult to raise and lower the carriage and the elevation gears begin to wear.
These new replacement counterbalance springs are sold individually. We also have pairs of reconditioned used springs available - please see the separate listing.
Note: These springs are specifically for Omega D and E series enlargers that have the counterbalance springs mounted at the top of the column - D-2, D2XL, D-3, D-4, D-6, E-5, E-6 and early Super Chromega E Dichroic. They cannot be used on enlargers that have the springs mounted on the carriage, i.e. D-5 and later Super Chromega E Dichroic enlargers.
