I'm an older photographer who because of some injuries and a planned downsizing is giving up a fairly complete set of darkroom equipment. I'm more interested in seeing someone put it to good use than in going through the effort to pick through, package, and sell it on eBay or here. I'm located in southwestern Ohio. If someone is interested and can pick up the gear, please get in touch. A couple of items are large, e.g., a Delta film drying cabinet and a light table for viewing negatives. Items include:
  1. Omega B66-XL with cold light head.​
  2. Omega B66 with incandescent light head.​
  3. Unicolor rotating drum agitation system. Originally designed for color film development, but also good for B&W.​
  4. 4 – 1 qt. Plastic chemical bottles​
  5. 4 – 35mm/120mm adjustable film reels for developing film.​
  6. Delta 1 Electrostatic Film Drying Cabinet – 76” x 21.5” x 23.25”​
  7. Steel light table with glass top – 33” x 34” x 36” high. Uses 36” flourescent bulb, works.​
  8. Falcon wire frame drying rack​
  9. 2 – 8” x 10” printing easels, one steel, one home made.​
  10. 2 – Speed Easels, one 5” x 7”, one 8” x 10”​
  11. 3 – 8” x 10” paper safes​
  12. 1 - Testrite Adjustable Vignette with instructions​
  13. 1 – Kodak Neutral Test Card​
  14. 1 – Kodak color print viewing filter kit​
  15. 1 – Lewco Dodgette Set for dodging prints​
  16. 1 – 1 liter Kodak plastic measuring container​
  17. 1 – Jobo 3 oz. Plastic measuring container​
  18. 1 – Variable contrast filter set, 0 – 5​
  19. 3 – Dayton darkroom timers​
  20. 1 – Saunders Darkroom Easel, 11” x 17”​
  21. 1 – Unknown brand plastic 8” x 10” print washer​
  22. 1 – Science & Mechanics photo meter with leather case​
  23. 4 – Kodak safelites​
  24. 1 – Warner Powers constant temperature water valve/system with thermometer​
  25. 1 – Constant voltage transformer for enlarger​
  26. Msc. Documentation including a Kodak Darkroom Dataguide​
  27. Other Msc. Bits and pieces​
Please contact me through this site if you are interested and able to pick things up. I'd like to move out as much of it as possible, and would prefer not letting things go a piece at a time. Thanks for your interest.

Wow - That's a big collection! I'm already fairly well equipped here, but If the drying cabinet + drying rack is hard to move I would happily give it a good home.

I hope that you find an enthusiastic person to take possession and use your darkroom soon.

How is this going? If you you're not having any luck, and are willing to ship, I'd love to know what is left!

It's very good of you to press this kit forward for others to enjoy, IMO


Godspeed, Eli

Since the OP hasn't been onsite Since Dec 24th last year, I doubt they are still checking.

Thanks, still learning how the site works; thanks for the comment, I went digging and found out how to look for that type of info. Guess I should have moved abck into film photography around 2010-2015!

No problem. Sometimes, you get lucky, even on very old posts. I should have told you to hover your mouse pointer of the user name under the avatar to see when they last visited.

Still, never know if they will pop back on and see your post...

I'm not sure if it's a user setting that can be turned off and on, but whenever someone PM's me, I get an email. Worth a try.
