Used: check out your local Craig's List or look at APUG classified ads.

New: FreeStyle, B&H, Adorama all APUG sponsors.

Steve,

He said in the UK. Shipping an enlarger from California might be a little expensive.

Jamie look on UK eBay, and APUG classifieds in the UK. If you don't know the equipment ask us about it. Every one wants to help. Welcome aboard.

There are craigslist ads in the UK. They're all over the world now.

Please reread the OP again. He does not mention enlarging; he wants to scan the negatives and use them on the internet. Cordially, Howard Tanger
 
Have a look at this thread, looks like they can supply your needs in the UK.

(there was a url link here which no longer exists)
 
hi jamie

you can also probably pick up reels and a tank and chemistry
at silverprint ( a apug advertiser ) ..
i can't suggest a scanmachine, maybe a refurb from epson or another maker?

good luck!

Try your local library, and also the IlfordPhoto website has just about all you need as a first start before reading further.

That kit has dev dishes which you don't need all you want is a dev tank some measures and a thermometc, go see Martin & his crew at Silverprint it's not too far from you and they'll sell only what you actually need.
