For Sale two more items to go on sale

this is the last of the excess equipment that I was given by well-intentioned people.

1). this is a Simmons-Omega Simtron colour analyzer with probe.Not sure if it works or not. I've cleaned off most of the dust. All dials turn, glass lenses in probe are intact and power cord is still there. Not sure what it is worth so I'm putting a price of $15.00 on it. It is a little on the heavy side and slightly on the biggish side. Whomever is interested in it I'll get the cheapest shipping charge I can find.

2). this item looks like some sort of 35mm negative carrier for a beseler enlarger. Again I'm not sure what it is worth so I'm putting a price of $15.00 on it. It is lighter than the Simtron above but is an awkward size. Again I'll try to get the cheapest shipping cost I can find.

3). Last item is a hard case for a Pentacon Practika "L" 35mm slr. No straps were with the case when it was given to me. $5.00

I accept Paypal. If there are multiple inquiries on either item, the time and date stamp on the PM that is sent will determine who gets first shot at buying it. Images are attached.

#2 is a Negatrans for a Beseler 45.

Thanks for the info mgb74. Is it a hard to find accessory?

Doug

Not to hard. Most likely will need a new belt. Nice item to have if printing a lot of 35mm negatives.

The Simmons-Omega analyzer is SOLD pending payment. More info. on other item coming soon.

here is a more detailed description of item #2:

The Negatrans is not a particularly hard to find item. There were versions for the 23c (that also could be used on the 45) and one just for the 45. An early version was "square" ; later versions had angled corners.

I think the one for the 45 is in slightly less demand; as Beseler 45 users are typically shooting larger formats.

There was a 120 negative version that is probably more valuable IF it has all the pieces. It used a glass pressure plate that often was misplaced or scratched up.

The Negatrans relies on a long rubber O-ring to advance the film. Replacements are available (both OEM and generic). As you turn the wheel (upper left in your photo) the rubber ring contacts the edge of the 35mm film strip and moves it back and forth.

You should be able to visually verify that the o-ring is present and it's condition.

the version that fits both could be found on Ebay for $10 with free shipping - but that is rare. Plus it was missing the posts on bottom that help keep it in place (nice to have, but not absolutely necessary). It has a good O-ring.
