Free Free unopened box of Kodak Ektamatic 17x14 paper -old

[Laroche]

This box of paper was purchased in 1983 and sat unopened in a darkroom until last month.

Is it any good? Who knows (though other, small boxes of paper from the same age/darkroom have been used and are in adequate condition).

I can’t find anyone here who wants it. Pay for shipping and handling and I’ll send it to you! (To calculate shipping, it’s coming from zip code 59801).

Thanks!

I would be interested if it is still available. How should I contact you?

I would actually interested in pretty much everything, I just wonder how much the shipping would be. I mix my own color and B&W so im mostly interested in the B&W printing chems though, and the Kodalith dev

Hey there, and thanks for the interest! I still have the paper and would love to get it to you. I’ve been meaning to put it in the ‘proceeds go to Photrio” category, so if you’d make a small donation to the site (amount is completely up to you) and pay for the shipping, it’s yours!

As for the chemicals, I got rid of most of them but might still have some left over. I’ll have to look.

How does that sound?

 

[wtburton]

Yeah id like to see what chemicals are left over. And how should I make a donation, I havent used the site much

Thanks again for the interest. I’m relatively new to the site too and don’t know a whole lot. I do, though, have several items that i can’t sell on ebay that I’m thinking of putting for donation. First, I have to get through selling stuff.

Have you seen my Instagram? @UncleMissoula. I post a lot of stuff there that I do put on ebay. I remembered, for example, that I have a LARGE (1g?) metal container of military surplus grade developer, and a slightly smaller metal container of Dektol (?). And a large jar of Potassium Alum with about 4lbs in it still (that’s on ebay, I think).

FINALLY, i realized what may be the fatal flaw of the photo paper: the box dimensions come to 39in, and anything over 36in (W+H+L) is bumped up considerable in price, from ~$15 to well over $30. Obviously I can take the box of paper out of the shipping box so it’s the lower rate, but that’s still considerable. I may have to give it away locally. Let me know what you think.

Thanks!
