Subject: Converting a camera to an enlarger

(either silver or alt), but I find images that I would like to enlarge.

thinking about making an enlarger back for my Kodak 2D 8x10 camera.

what to do about a light source. I have thought about mounting a light bulb
in a white box and trying to find some diffusion glass (I wonder how even
the light would be), or using the el panel from a junk laptop as a cold
light source (I don't know if it would be bright enough, or if I could even
remove it from the laptop in working order).
