Default Need Information on Sabre S+35 Enlarger

FYI - I may have found a carrier which will work. I only discovered one
link for a Sabre enlarger on the net, a recent sale of a different Sabre
model to a lady. I emailed her, asking for a photo of her carrier in the
hopes a photo would help me to recreate one. Yes, she was willing, but
she had an extra 35 mm carrier she was willing to part with. In a flurry
of emails verifying measurements, etc. I have purchased it. It looks as
though it will work with this machine, too. I will know of course for
certain only when it arrives. Keeping my fingers crossed!

Hi All:

A while back, I picked up a small Sabre s+35 enlarger (also labelled "an
R$H Product" in a yard sale. While I realize this is only good for 35 mm
film, I am restoring it as much as I can.

It is missing its negative carrier. From looking at the unit, it looks
as though the original carrier would have been approximately 3"x3", and
the enlarger head has two indexing pins which would insert through the
carrier, one on each side.

Does anyone have a spare carrier for one of these (says he
optimistically and with a truly dumb hope), or more realistically, does
anyone have one of these they could photograph so that I could construct
one...

Also, and chances anyone would have a manual for this ancient toy?

I am just getting back into at least processing my own films, and am
looking for an inexpensive developing tank for 120 mm. and 35 mm. film
as well?

Many years ago, I processed my own films, and now that I have a number
of good 120 cameras (Bronica, Rollieflex, Yashica D) in the collection
and no nearby labs, it is time at least to develop my own film again.
