Shops secondhand darkroom equipment ?

[Hilo]

Has this been covered somewhere: a list of shops still selling darkroom equipment?

Hi Hilo,

Where are you located, what exactly from equipment are you looking for?

 

[gary in nj]

When you say equipment, do you mean investment equipment like enlargers, timers, safelights or consumables like paper, chemicals?

Darko, Gary,

I am in The Netherlands, but this is not decisive. Nowadays we buy from anywhere, right? It is not so much about complete enlargers, but more about specific parts. AN glass for negative holders; under the lens filter holders or dedicated filter trays . . .

Yes, I mean anything to do with the darkroom. In Europe I have around me many people who use Leitz and Durst enlargers. Also Beseler and Omega. It would be nice to have an up to date list of shops still active. Unless the truth is that all goes to Ebay.

Thanks, Michael

I practically only buy local.

In short, based on what I have seen and others' responses here I'd suggest that there is no "go to" list where a range of shops and online retailers can be seen in one place who deal in secondhand analogue equipment

You may have already come to that conclusion yourself. On the other hand you might be able to make up your own list from the responses.

In addition to what has been mentioned, have a look at The Imaging Warehouse, based also in the U.K.

eBay. I couldn't have put my darkroom together without it.

In the spirit of Ralph's post: I do not have a garage, but I do have a storage room with many boxes. Mostly there's Leitz Focomat and Valoy II parts in them. The reasons for having this stuff: addiction, everything got so cheap, addiction . . .

Anyone can send me a PM me about things you are looking for
