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 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.
