This is a heavy-duty replacement for the lever on the left side of LPL 4x5 enlargers that lifts the pressure plate, allowing you to insert the negative carrier, With heavy use, the plastic collar on the underside of the original lever can wear or split, allowing the lever to turn with no effect. This often occurs in schools and other institutional situations where the enlargers are in constant use. If you need a replacement for the original part, this solid metal lever is a direct replacement. It's secured with a set screw, and should never need replacement. For less demanding situations, we also stock the original LPL plastic part - please see Related Products below.
