You want to vignette the edges? hehe

But seriously, I like my beselers just fine...all 7 of them.

It appears to be an amateur grade 6x6 condenser enlarger
of a style that was pretty common half a century ago.

Similar type enlargers with respected (or once respected
but now forgotten) brand names can be bought used for
less money than Freestyle wants for the Holga.
I think there were at least a couple for sale at the last
camera show I attended for less than $100 Canadian.

If you let your friends, family and colleagues at work
know you are interested in getting an enlarger, you
may be surprised at what will turn up.

Darkroom work used to be a much more common
hobby than it is at present, and there are a lot of
enlargers gathering dust in basements and attics.

That being said, the Holga enlarger appears to be
better than the brand name would suggest.

Peter.

Last camera show I attended they were practically giving away enlargers
smaller than 4x5 and I saw a nice D-II go for $100 with lens and carrier.
