I purchased mine in January of this year when B&H sold it for $199. Setup in the garage.

I use that 6 inch duct fan suggested above, which inflates it nicely even at low speed.

I have a 1 watt LED red bulb hanging up top which is connected to my enlarger timer (turns off when enlarger is on), passes the fog test perfectly but it's on the dim side for sure.

My 23c ii fits with a 2x4 plastic folding table from Costco, and I have room for four 8x10 trays. Surprisingly stable. Not cramped at the least for me.

I've done over 50 prints so far on RC and FB, and I'm very happy with the results. First time I've printed since high school in 1994.

No way I could do this any other way in our small home, and I just leave it setup. My temporary permanent darkroom 🙂

I wish them well but fail to see the usefulness.

The last time I saw a photo of something like this, Edward Curtis had just popped out with a wet-coated glass plate saying, "Hold it right there for 30 seconds, Chief."
