Hi Garimo,
Beseler makes a flexible extension cable with a focusing knob on one end that
allows you to view on the enlarger baseboard and focus without reaching
upward. It fits both their 23C and 45M models and could probably be adapted
to any standard focusing axle. We use it with a drop baseboard enlarger
station that accomodates a wheelchair and it allows students confined to the
chair to access the focusing (and magnification on the 23C) functions of the
enlarger while seated. I believe the adapter kit (2 cables and a bracket)
was under $100.
