The C6700 was LPL's economy 6x7 color enlarger, a step below the pro 7700. LPL's own catalog sold it as a basic machine a class above other economy models, with a thick column and a big balancer that made the head light to move. LPL had been selling color enlargers since the 67 in 1977, and by 2001 the 6700 family came three ways: the C6700 dichroic, the VC6700 variable contrast and the 6600 condenser for 6x6. A long-column C6700L made bigger prints, up to 14x17 in from 35mm. KHB Photografix, LPL's Canadian distributor, says the C6700 sold in the US as the Omega/LPL D6700, and its parts lists name Saunders/LPL 6700s too. North American units run an 85W 82V halogen lamp. Elsewhere it's a 100W 12V lamp with an external supply, and in Japan a 100V 150W lamp. It takes the same glassless carriers as the 7700, which helps if you move up later. KHB now lists the enlarger itself as discontinued.
Darkroom check
Should come with it
Hard to find if missing
Check the listing photos against these lists, and ask the seller about anything you can’t see. A missing carrier, condenser or lens board should come off the price.
KHB's parts list for the 6600 and 6700 is short: a counterbalance spring, the baseboard, carriers and lamps. The lamp is the part to ask about, since the 85W 82V North American lamp was out of stock at KHB when we checked.

Buying guide
We'd buy the Saunders LPL D6700 at $385 titled very clean and tested, with a negative carrier and a lens, though no shipping is quoted. The cheapest is $275 with free shipping, titled with a carrier and baseboard, but the photo shows it partly taken apart. With at least 4 for sale and only 2 quoting shipping, the $400–675 delivered band isn't a market read, and the $1,195 complete outfit is a dealer ask. All four carry the Saunders badge, one of the names LPL's C6700 sold under in the US, alongside the Omega/LPL D6700. Ask whether it's an 82V North American unit, since its 85W 82V lamp was out of stock at KHB when we checked, and for a photo with the lamp lit and the three filter dials showing.
$275.00delivered
The lowest price here, $275 with free shipping from a 100% seller, titled with a negative carrier and baseboard. The photo shows the head off the column, so ask for photos of it assembled and lit, and whether it's an 82V unit or a 12V one that needs its external power supply.

$385.00+ ship
The only one titled tested, and the photo shows it assembled on its baseboard with the three-dial color head. Ask for a photo with the lamp lit and the dials at zero, since the 82V lamp is the part that's hard to replace.
