I posted this in the darkroom equipment section and got no help. Thought I'd try here since there is more action.

Digging around in some boxes of mine that have been in storage, I came upon a Jobo ComTime enlarging timer without the instructions. Looks to be in good shape and seems to work. Has anyone here had any experience with this animal? I'm just wondering if it would be worth my time and effort to dig up a manual and try to use the thing. Here is my current enlarging setup: Omega D6XL with an Ilford Ilfospeed Multigrade 400HL head.
Here are a few images of the beast:

I've deleted the first thread, but might consider moving this back to the Darkroom Equipment forum. :smile:
FWIW, when it comes to sub-forums, which sub-forum you use probably makes little difference with respect to visibility. Most people base their viewing on the New Posts facility, and threads show up there irrespective of which sub-forum they are in.

Matt, I'm sorry if I put the cart before the horse, but it worked. I got a reply from Tim right away. I guess I was just a little desperate. Oh, and thanks for deleting the first thread.

I bet you would have received the same response if you had just "bumped" the first thread 😄

John, the reason that you received a reply right away was because I took yesterday off of work due to an appointment with the SSA.

I'm now officially a seasoned citizen. I've signed up for Social Security. No plans to retire anytime soon, I'll be double dipping for a few years. But I'm at the age that I'm allowed the full amount and not penalized for working and I've paid in for 52 years. I wanted to get on it before it starts getting whittled away at.
