I had one of these many years back and liked many features of it. I
recall liking the negative holder system better than the Beseler type
that I now use. The beam seems sturdy at first glance, but you'll
find that you need to wait a few seconds for vibrations to stop after
touching anything on the head. It helped greatly to connect the top
of the column to the wall with a small turnbuckle arrangement. Also,
see if you can locate the manual and assure that the condensers are
installed correctly. I recall seeing these in a school darkroom with
odd light patterns and it was traced to incorrect condenser
insertions. You'll enjoy your new acquisition, I predict!
