For Sale Entire Darkroom for Sale - I must relocate & it cannot go with me

[HowBoutThemRedSox]

I retired at the end of the year and must downsize my entire life. I have no room for my hobby of 45 years and must sell all of it.

• Berkey Omega D5 Pro-Lab 4X5 with wall mount and top braces plus the usual lenses, neg carriers (including ANR glass carriers), easels, timers, etc....
• Complete wet side outfit from film through Jobo Mistral 2
• Complete outfits for Nikon F5 and F100 including some now hard-to-find accessories
• Four lenses for the above cameras
• Complete finishing gear including seal press, Logan mat cutter, and large stock of 30" 42" 4-ply museum white mat boards
• Other miscellaneous detritus accumulated over the years.

Partial list of equipment is attached.

All of my gear is used but never abused and in excellent working order. I have photographs of all of it for those who have an interest.

I would like to sell it as a lot to either a practicing photographer or a reseller. If this proves unsuccessful I will break it up and sell the pieces through the usual outlets. Contact me with your interests.

Thank you,
David Clarkson

Too bad! Good luck with your sale.
Hope you can access a community laboratory. Why not keep the F100 and the 24-85?

The Memory F Stop Timer is a wonderful addition to any darkroom. For those who have not tried F stop timing, the opportunity beckons!

Revised list for entire darkroom

Please send me a price for the lot. Lyle

I have attached a revised list for my darkroom and finishing facility. At his point I will not piece the equipment. If I must do so I will use the normal auction sites and send links to APUG classified.

I am asking $4,500 for the attached equipment and supplies. The supplies and incidentals not shown are too numerous to list, but they will go as well. If a buyer purchases the lot he/she gets everything within four walls but tables, cabinets, and chairs.

If you have questions please feel free to contact me.

I donated the entire wet side to a local community college and the dry side to our local arts council for use by young students and artists. I sold all the camera gear gear on ebay. So forty-five years of film and the smell of hypo comes to an end. I had fun while it lasted, but it must end. Unfortunately (?), I have no clue for which end is up on a digital camera and have yet to even consider trying one.

All the best to you wet-hand folks.

Regards,
David

Ah...digital...fortunately, one need only put the camera on auto, point the lens in the right area, press the shutter, and let the camera do the rest....:{

I long ago lost my trust in "...let the camera do the rest."
