I have no connection with the seller.

Then perhaps you should share the link.

How about this?

Someone made an offer, so it may not last long.

I got mine on e-bay. Mine needed a new flash tube, other than that it works fine.

Ok I guess - if you have the skills to bring it to spec / calibrate.

The device has no adjustments for calibration, other than ND filter.

How much was the flash tube ?

This is the Mouser page from 2007 when I ordered the lamp. "C" for $15.17.

I'd be wary - "Sold for parts or repair." The photos show a number of wires running over the case of the instrument and held in place with duct tape - so it has been modified and you will either have to remove the modifications or figure out their purpose. The 'negative carrier' (??) is loose: missing screws; not installed correctly; or broke? OTOH it seems to be pretty simple with only a flash tube, power supply and some switches.

You can do 'good enough' sensitometery with a step tablet and an enlarger (or other timed light source).

Yes it is a straight forward flash circuit. Three capacitors, with the proper ratings to get the three flash outputs, a trigger coil, a ac/dc rectifier circuit and dc filter capacitors.

I have an instruction manual for it if anyone needs one

Here is the E.G.& G. Mark VI sensitometer full instruction manual number B-3610 August 1967

The device has no adjustments for calibration, other than ND filter.

The original "ND" filters were precise cut slits in an opaque black strip (can't remember if metal or plastic), but we used regular ND filters. Since we used ours on a really regular basis, we had to measure the ND filters for degradation and replace them when they faded or started to buckle.

Awww someone got it on offer. Good for them. I was going to buy it just to fix it and give it away but can wait for the next one.
