I am new to this forum (retired Graphic Designer) and have a Halco Copiscanner for sale (a smaller version of a Grant Projector). I have owned it from new (late 80's) it's in very good condition, everything works, complete with hood and extra enlarger lens, finished in bright yellow. If interested please contact me, can supply photo.
