Stumbled across these:

I like the note:

Better models were fitted with dark-slides to hold the paper others had to be loaded in the darkroom. A simple shutter is often present.
Hopefully I didn't just ruin Francois' weekend. ;)

They all make me think of the Daylab enlargers. They were pretty similar in design but had an electronic flash built-in and some color filters for adjusting the color balance. The big plus about those is that the easel was used as a processing tray so it was perfect for those without darkrooms.

Though I must say some of the apparatus on the site is pretty weird :)
