On the price: unfortunately, it’s too low – good for you, bad for me (I’m trying to sell an Op. 6 at the moment because I’ve upgraded to a Magnifax, but nobody wants it even for 100 euros...).
On upgradeability: yes, both the colour and contrast conversion heads fit!

Hi Roman,
I haven’t bought anything on auction yet. I’m just keeping an eye on eBay and waiting to see how high the price goes. Maybe I could decide to buy yours instead; I’d just need to know what’s included and the condition. The Opemus listed on eBay is sitting in an attic and the seller seems to have no idea about it. I’d prefer to buy a unit from someone where I know it’s in good working order.
I’d also need the exact model number.
Best regards

Hello!
It’s a 6a (i.e. filter drawer, metal stage) with a condenser head, in good condition (only the base board is a bit stained); I’d throw in a few glass masks for the stage (for KB and MF), as well as a second, older metal stage from an Opemus 5, which also fits the Op. 6. I was thinking of a price of 100 euros – and I know that they often go for less than half that on eBay, but to be honest, I’d rather keep it myself than sell it off cheaply.
I also have a Color-3 colour mixing head to go with it, though not with the original transformer, but with one from FEM; I’d sell that for, say, 50 euros.
And now here’s the catch: I’m in Vienna, Austria, so shipping to Germany would probably be quite expensive (roughly estimated at 35 to 40 euros – the thing is heavy and not exactly compact to pack). So it probably won’t be of much interest to you?

PS: I’ve also got a brand-new fine-focus knob to spare – bought from Mirko here just before I got hold of the Magnifax – I’d throw in an extra 10 euros for that…
