Want to Buy WTB: Digital timer for an enlarger

[Terrence Brennan]

I am looking for a digital timer for an enlarger, not a timer with sweep hands like the GraLab 300 or GraLab 2000 (I already have a 300 for film processing).

Whatcha got for sale or trade?

On my Durst enlarger, I use a Labotim.

This general purpose digital timer is what I use in my darkroom for enlarging and for UV printing alt process prints. It covers from 1 second to 24 hours. It is fairly straightforward to use this way, although not designed specifically for this. Cost is about $18 new here in US. I used it to replace my old analog timer that started sticking and getting inaccurate on shorter exposures. It's also very accurate on whole seconds, but no fractions of seconds.

I had an electronic timer fritz out on me. My favorite is an Omega ART (Audible Repeating Timer) that’s basically a Time-O-Lite that has a clicker/metronome feature.

When I still had a darkroom besides my Gralab I used a small kitchen timer that I found at Goodwill. Had three different timers with red LED's. Look for kitchen timers. I'm assuming your not looking for one with 125 vac power switches built in.

Gralab 450 is quite nice, and not too expensive on used market. Our college darkroom standardized on them.

I suggest to get an f/stop timer, digital or analog, instead!

I have a gralab 450 with foot switch I don't use. I'll message you.

That said, I just can't imagine using a linear time increment timer anymore. Fstop timers are a lot more intuitive to use.

Has anyone tried one of these?

I'm a strong supporter of f/stop timers, including @Nicholas Lindan 's product.
It is nice though to see a few alternatives making their way on to the market.

How "digital"? I've got a Unicolor Division Unitimer 10x #496 I'm thinking of selling.

I used to have the Gralab 900 which is digital. But if I need one now I build one.

If a linear timer would be all I had. I'd use at least an f/stop timing table.
