The original fan is not in a housing. It is a naked fan that is mounted so that it fits within a shroud that is built-in to the head. The plastic fan rotor is attached to a shaft that protrudes...

John, I think that's best too. The vibrations are quite heavy. I am planning to take the stock fan out altogether and replace it with a 110 volt axial cooling fan. I just have to find one that is...
I see what's wrong with my fan. The bracket that holds the fan vertically in the shroud came loose or maybe some part is missing, and it allowed the fan to shift backward and the blades to contact...
Interesting timing. I was just searching for Dichro 45S fan fuse and found this thread. I bought a Dichro 45S head on ebay, and it was delivered today. I just plugged it in (both cords), and my...
Brian, I'd like to try the chromoskedasic technique. Does the process work better with certain types of paper? Glossy vs matte, warm vs cold tone?
Are the Gossen Spot Meter II and the Sekonic L-758 the only spot meters that are still manufactured and available new? I use an L-508 that is still in fine condition. But I'm thinking about...
In case you haven't seen it yet, here is a thread that I found useful when I was trying to decide on an 8x10 to replace my Deardorff. I ended up deciding to keep my Deardorff, but I'll eventually...
Just an FYI in case anyone is looking for a Deardorff 8x10 to 4x5 reducing back. I'm not the seller, but I thought I'd mention it since these are new unused backs and they look really nice. The...
The Razzle is quite intriguing. I've never heard of it before, but I've now seen the threads here on the forum about it. I'll contact Dean Jones to inquire, as I think it might make a wonderful...
That xtracycle is really cool, but I think the BOB is more my style.
It'll be a while, but I'll post what I end up with. I'm still scoping the bike details, as well as the camera.
I don't have the best selection of lenses, but enough to get started. I've got a Schneider Krueznach Symmar-S 210mm f5.6, a Nikkor W 210mm f5.6 (yeah, I can sell one of those as I don't really need...
That's a great idea, except that my Speed Graphic is in really nice condition except for the back. I'm seriously considering a Crown Graphic since I don't really want the extra weight of the focal...
I appreciate all the great ideas you've all come up with and tips from your personal experience. I'll check out the Crown Graphic and the Busch Pressman for sure, and compare the cost of one of...
The touring bike is what I'm planning, Greg. I'm leaning toward building a touring bike based on a Surly Long Haul Trucker frame with panniers and racks. I don't want to wear a backpack while...
Yeah, I'd probably use my Speed Graphic if it were in working order. Having it repaired might be the most cost-effective solution after all, if I can locate someone who can do the work.
I see...
I can't find a website for Chamonix cameras. Anyone have a link or pics?
Hey. I haven't posted in quite a while, but I've finally got some free time again and my darkroom will soon be back in service, so I'm looking to dust off my gear and get back in the field. I...
A soak of a few hours in Oxyclean and hot water works to remove labels from beer bottles and the adhesive too. A short soak in a very weak vinegar solution will remove any white residue left behind...
T-Max 400 and some Ektapan that expired 10 years ago.
I want to try Ilfochrome too, so I'm happy to hear that it may be coming back into the pipeline.
This is probably a silly question, but can you contact print onto Ilfochrome? I don't have an...
I have had no problem doing 4x5 and 8x10 Kodak six step with one-shot chemistry use in my CPP2. My very first sheet was beautiful, and every subsequent sheet too. If you use all of the solutions...
Scott, I'm pretty sure I saw a Canon 9950f at Competitive Camera on Irving Blvd day before yesterday. Their number is 214 744-5511.

I shot photos of the I-10...
I'm 45, which seems to be somewhere near average for this group. I've just started using an 8x10 within the past year, after using a 4x5 off and on for about three.
I got my first camera, a...
Do any of you have any personal experience with or knowledge of enlargers made b y Hunter, Penrose, and Littlejohn, and can speak to the quality and usability of these enlargers? I understand the...
Dick's idea seems good. Just don't use running water on them. I tried it on some old and seriously dirty Riteway holders and it ruined most of them. The fabric tape came off some of them (easily...
There is a website, http://www.f-stop.org/ that exists purportedly to warn about the dangers of airport x-ray scanners and provide film safety recommendations for travelers. They have a sample...
Steve Simmons in his book "Using the View Camera" provides an excellent general discussion of different lens types, coverage, focal lengths, focusing, DOF, relative strengths and weaknesses, etc.
Jon, RC has its uses, especially when you are first starting out. It may not rival fiber for the best looking (or keeping) medium, but you'll still look at your results and think "Wow, I really...
Ooops. I see I screwed up the gender references. The part that screws onto the faucet in place of the aerator is the "male" part. It slips into the "female" snap fitting that is permanently...
I use a tray setup in my bathtub for print washing. I couldn't find a reliable way to connect the big bathtub faucet to a hose, so I bought a short garden hose (12 foot) and a snap coupling set at...
