If you decide to go this route, make sure the piece of glass you obtain is flawless. I bought an 8X10 1/4 inch piece of glass, had the edges polished, but I did not notice that it had a few really small imperfections, which of course showed in the print.
Thanks you all for the quick responses. That's what I love about this forum - it's a great resource. Jan- I like the idea about the print box - keep dust off the glass when not in use. Just have to wait for the camera to turn up now.
Mark,
The one I made, in 1973, is still in it's old paper box, out in the darkroom.

i've heard of people buying xray viewers off of evil bay and using them for contact printing.
they can actually be pretty cheap sometimes.
And the best part is, you can contact print your hand - without needing film!Originally Posted by Atlo
Robert,
I would love to have one of those old viewers from the Buster Brown Shoe Stores. Just think of all those x-Rays done to kids feet. And we won't even want to talk about the clerks selling shoes.
