How about fifty bucks for all five of them?

Thanks for your consideration!

  All gone ... the enlargers have found good homes in Texas, Dearborn and Lapeer, MI, plus all the other darkroom equipment and fresh sealed boxes of photo paper.

I just saw this posting and if anyone out there missed buying these items, I may have them for you! I have many of the same items for sale with the addition of a couple of processors - a CP31 Fujimoto Image Processor and a JOBO processor with 2 drums for 16X20's. Also have the requisite timers, trays, chemical bottles, beakers, dryer, enlargers (one Omega and one Beseler both with color heads and power supplies) etc, etc. I, also, don't want to see them go to a landfill - there is life in them yet! If you need it, I just may have it!

My Haiku:

I printed my work

My darkroom is very dark

But still wants to shine!

Is there anything left?
- Connie Mettler > 08k4asmjqoerf October 1, 2017 at 2:12pm
  
  Yes, there is. One of the enlargers's sale fell through, the 23C Beseler. Plus, we have timers, negative holders, paper, some film, paper safes ... just about anything you can think of. Is there something specific you'd like?

    Your remaining enlarger is the newer model Beseler, the 23CII. I had the older blue model with color head.
    
    Funny thing, I sold all mine--THE WORKS--10 years ago for $250 (including an Omega D2 Prolab with Zone VI cold light) and the person who bought it all recently moved. She called me and said that she couldn't take the darkroom and thus asked if I wanted it all back--for FREE! I went and hauled it all back home. I can't believe it myself! Got back my four King Concept 35mm film developing reels, all kinds of things that I scraped by to get. All the good stuff. Can't believe it's all in my basement again.

      Well, I just wonder how happy A. B. will be if she ever has to find a home for all of this ;)

        If you have the timers left, could u give me your absolute best price. Many thanks! Bill

        What would they (or even one) be a good price for you, Bill?
