Someone on Ebay trying to get rid of "Junk" 25 bucks AS IS plus 14 dollars shipping .Ilford 5250 print dryer.. IT looked to be in nice shape. I figured it would go in my parts reserve. The guy put it in a box absolutely no padding of any kind. Weighs 50 lbs.
Came smashed.
I figured it was junk, took it apart. Had to do major bodywork. Cleaned and fixed a couple minor faults inside. Fans had come loose, end caps needed reglueing. Now it works perfectly. These things are built like a tank on the inside. I have another somewhat newer model. Gives the most amazing gloss, literally slightly melts the gelatin so it flows out. Feels good to save something so amazing from the scrap yard. Even if it's somewhat wrinkled and dented. Proudly Made in England.
