Kicking myself in the a** !!

VCP JUST LISTED A 110V version for $175.00. A lot for a timer, but if it is what you need/want it’s worth the spend. Patience is key here since its all become “rare” but my guess is big price drops coming when the hipster crowd moves on.
 

I dont know what VCP is.........
 
I think VCP is the Vermont Center for Photography.
 
I keep waiting for a "deal" on a Saunders/LPL 4550. I don't think it's going to happen.

Join the Que or line up.
I missed out on an auction where a 4500 with VCC head sold for $15 Cdn, I am not sure it was used , perhaps old stock.
The accessories also in the auction sold for an averge of !$15 Cdn plus a 50mm f2.8 Apo Rodagon for ; you guessed it $15.00Cdn.
Surplus LPL 4500 power supplies were snapped up at $65 Cdn.
I could buy a 4500 for $150 but with no power supply or negative carriers which makes it all but worthless.
 
I would take the gamble on a $150 4500. I can't set up a darkroom in the current house, so it would sit in storage while I collected the needed pieces.
 
I really would like to have a Darkroom Automations f/stop timer - and Nicholas Lindan's enterprise has started making them again!
And they are long time Photrio advertisers too!

I tried to call their number to ask about the densitometer, no answers.......I am curious, does it read only a projected negative density or can it read like a regular one that cost lots of money.....curious about how it can be offered so inexpensively compared to others.

I was at a party in the early 1960s and Ray Charles was in the next room playing piano and singing. I was young and deep into bop and felt like like “who wants to listen to that?”. Been kicking myself ever since.
Repeat story. My mom was at a party and W.C. Fields was upstairs in a bedroom telling stories. She was in early twenties and felt too sophisticated to see him. When in her nineties she still regretted her not going upstairs.
 
It says it's "For parts or not working".

Right you are...but here's one for $44. untested.
