D6 Zoom Condenser Lamphouse
 
The Zoom Condenser lamphouse was essentially a deluxe version of the DV Variable Condenser system.  Rather than having to remove and reposition the third condenser lens, the lens was raised and lowered via a knob on the side of the lamphouse.  The various focal length settings were printed on the side of the condenser assembly, and one simply adjusted the knob to align a mark with the proper setting.  Another deluxe touch was the spring loaded struts on the front access door which held it firmly open and closed.  

The zoom lamphouse was only sold with the Pro-Lab D6 Enlarger but could be purchased as a separate item. It did, however, cost about 40% more than a DV lamphouse, so when the Pro-Lab D6 was discontinued in the mid-1970s, the Zoom lamphouse was discontinued as well. 

Used Advice:  The zoom lamphouse has all the features of the DV.  Check that it's complete and in good working order.  While it can be fitted to D series chassis other than the D6, it will likely require different lifting arms.
