While on e-Bay, I ran across the perfect Halloween gift for the darkroom -- an autopsy table. Large, stainless steel . . . and I assume it is liquid (blood)-tight. Of course, given the table's history, I would be scared to turn off the lights . . . .

(I have no connection to the table, I just thought it was practical yet goulish.)

I'll have to see if my wife or ghoulfriend would be willing to pick that up for me.

Anyone want to bob for "apples"?
I used to work in a TV station where we had one of those scissor-folding stands that undertakers use to move coffins. We used it to move large pieces of equipment, like videotape recorders. (back when they were large). Nobody would admit to knowing exactly how we came to possess this thing, but it was very handy.

A very dark room indeed. All you need now is a six and a half foot long, 36 inch diameter Jobo tube.

San Mateo? Wasn't that were Bullet, Steve McQueen went and found the dead girl who was strangled with wire?

You could put a nice mattress on one and sleep in the darkroom! :eek:

A friend of mine had two of these types of autopsy tables in his darkroom. They really worked great.

I have one, a pretty good table despite the fact the stainless tends to rust if not cleaned up good. I had to totally replumb it to make it useable. It came with a metal block for a head rest, no idea where that went.

Nice! And your autopsy in your own darkroom when you croak.

Didn't need 2....I would have liked 1 of them, but, I didn't bid.

So my friend in Rochester has his studio in the refurbished city morgue. He actually has formaldehyde jars of "parts" that he found....

I would advise your friend to avoid using the brain labeled "Abie-Normal" ....

This is too funny especially since I used to work at the Palo Alto VA Hospital Morgue and yes it was creepy but I wanted to be a DR. at one point in my life... but I decided photography is more my cup of tea... before people ask yes I did help on all aspects of the morgue... Its definitely not a job for the squeamish... oh and I was only there from the age 15 until 18 and volunteered during the summer and school breaks...:eek:

Man i would loved to had one of those as my darkroom sink it bee really cool :D

I thought this was going to be a joke, but those look like the nicest darkroom sinks I've ever seen. What an ingenius idea.

$264 for both???
