  1. Re: Interesting article in the local news today.

    Hey Marc, how's that laser graphics treating you?

    If you are in Canberra any time in the next month, perhaps check this out - it is a similar approach.

  2. Re: 16 bits Worth It? & Mounting Station Options

    Which Australian outfit was that? I'm Aussie and made a few a while back, considered making them to order just not enough time.

    They can be simple to DIY if you go with a weighted roller design....

    Re: DeVere 504 questions

    I got it in 2020 - have a look on my blog. A lot were scrapped locally, especially the horizontal units and at the time I was looking you could still get one new from the factory in China. Not sure...

    Re: DeVere 504 questions

    Sorry I misread that as 2.5k which it was closer to, but still a far cry from 10k... And yes, I know of several around these parts, still in use though.

    Is that what they go for these days? About what I paid for my 5108 last model as new condition.

    Re: De Vere Enlarger factory

    No worries, was mainly after the handles and linking shaft/pulley but sounds like they are in use. I think I asked John yonks ago but either he didn't have all the bits or it was very expensive.

    Do you still have the wall mounted parts? Saves me having to machine my own bits and pieces.

    To be honest, these just look like another chinese-made tent so the same considerations apply - I would just source the cheapest one you can find to give you an idea I got mine for 50 AUD. I would...

    Larger grow tents are available, just more expensive. Almost all of them are chinese made so they will more often than not contain little pinholes which you will need to patch, inverting the fabric...

    Re: DIY 8x10 (or larger) Enlarger Chassis

    Wouldn't it be far easier to simply use your existing wall-mount chassis and build a suitable drop table assembly from 8020 then to recreate the whole thing? This solution would be far more rigid in...

    There is also a chassis that has been on ebay for yonks:

  16. Re: Can the Devere 507 be converted to the 5108?

    I believe the 504, 507, 5108 and 515 all share the same drop table assembly, may be easier to find another whole enlarger and do the swap. If you do manage to work something out with the conversion I...

    I expressed interest but you had no interest in sharing. Otherwise I have experience with most of that, too bad.

    Wait so let me get this right, the one source you have so devoutly preached this whole time has finally come back and informed you are incorrect - you then proceed to argue with him?

  26. Re: Midtone Machines - Automatic Film Processing Machine

    Chromabox-4...? Hmmm not feeling it, let me know when you produce retrofit tanks for Phototherm machines
  27. Re: Midtone Machines - Automatic Film Processing Machine

    The first version of the Phototherm was the FP-1, although rapid kind of implies something like a x-ray film dev process.
