Watch Ebay that's where I got mine. 20 inch capacity, warms up in a minute, dries an 8x10 in 10-15 seconds. B&W and color, perfect. I used mine today, one thing I dearly love.

I will check model. I have 2 machines. People wanted to get rid of these things. They came 2 separate deals. One from a shop as is, $60, came busted up had to repair. The other was 200. Guy cleaning out a shed.

One note, these units usually show up bent, broke and filthy. Both of mine required some TLC to get in shape. I think someone still makes a similar dryer.

I have one as well. It also had bent housing parts and the foam exit rollers had disintegrated. Fortunately a few evenings of bending covers and some door sealing foam from the hardware store for the rollers and it was good to go. It’s a great machine to have- dries RC prints in seconds.

My rollers are OK, seems to me to be a harder rubber. The gloss from these machines is great. In fact if you have the heat too high it will flow the gelatin enough that matte finish papers will come out somewhat glossy. Never happened to me, yet.
