I was graciously given some darkroom equipment by a member who was moving and could not take some stuff with him.
I have a what seems to be a 20x24 print washer made by Red Village Photo Products.
I have not used it, too big for me and my use. Im not completely sure how it works, there are two center sections that are removable, maybe for different sized prints?
The center sections do have plastic pieces that are broken off, I do have the pieces, wont be that hard to glue them back on.
Obviously only for pickup, cant ship this beast.

It is yours if you can use it and pick it up. Reason for the trade section?
I need a 4x5 enlarging lens for a Beseler 45. . A trade would be great if possible.

Thanks

This is much larger than anything I'll ever use, but this is quite a gracious gesture on your part.

Hope you don’t mind the late inquiry, but what did you end up doing with this?

I ask because I too have been gifted a very large 20x24 print washer! Don’t know the model or make, but don’t think it was custom-made. I’m wondering what to do with it, and initial inquiries suggest that it’s too large and too obscure to be of actual value to anyone. Suggestions?

I found someone semi locally that was building a darkroom and was able to use it. I was happy to gift it and give it a life outside the trash bin.
Its a shame to trash one of these, considering how expensive they can be new, but we are a limited community.
