It's great that these can be repaired! An alternative for those who don't have one of those: an inexpensive sous vide heater and a container.

Pliobond is a traditional choice.
I bought a rifle recently. The owners manual warned of storing it long term in a gun case. My guess is because foam and similar will likely leach nasty fumes.
Thanks, Michael.
It sounds like a phenidone/ascorbate developer, but that's just a guess.
That's a great one, Jon!
Thanks, Randy!
Thanks, Randy. What does the Calumet wire support look like?
I'm getting closer to getting my Century No. 7 ready to take 5x7 and 8x10 portraits. This will be done in my living room, and not a dark studio. As such, it's be nice to keep extraneous light off...
Sinar lines will easily wash off...don't ask how I know....
Great idea, Ron. There's a laser engraver at the local library that I can use.
Thanks, Randy. The lens seems ok, although the band that holds the metal lens cap got wrecked. The rest of the lens seems ok, but only time will tell.
Yesterday, I cleaned out my office at UW Fox Valley. That led to my bringing my Agfa/Ansco studio stand home. I put my Kodak Century No. 7 camera on it. I'd like to do some portraits with 8x10...
Fomapan 400 + Rodinal, pushed a stop.
Thanks, Jon!

His sister, Nilla, helped him celebrate:...
That's excellent work, Tuco!
My paper arrived today. Now it's time to clean the darkroom and get the paper trimmer setup.
Looks like a kit is available: https://www.amazon.com/BTF-LIGHTING-Natural-Dimming-Controller-Wireless/dp/B0CWP6P3G2
These just plug in:...
I just noticed these high CRI LED strips: https://store.waveformlighting.com/products/d50-5000k-t5-led-linear-light-fixture-for-color-matching-iso3664-2000
It might be possible to use these to...
That's quite a sky, Jon!
Hey, John. I just put in the order for some of the paper, and so I don't have any experience to share yet. Hopefully, I'll have some soon!
I bet it sounds great!
Dave, I'm going to follow your lead. I'll order some MGIV RC 10x8.
That turned out really well!

Yep. It's not difficult. It just takes a bit of patience. That's quite a hot spot, though.
Good one, Jon!
Thanks, John!
I'm interested in trying paper negatives in my studio 8x10 to do portraits. Does 8x10 paper need to be cut down to fit the holders? Is any particular paper more suited to portraits than others? ...
Nice find!
It's really easy to align all of the stages, and in my experience it stays aligned.
Did the enlarger come with the manual? If not, you might want to pick one up.
Good tip, Jim!
And the filters vary. When I replaced the magenta filters on my De Vere head my max contrast jumped from grade 3.5 to 4.5.
With mine, I used Paul Butzi's method to get consistent highlight densities with contrast changes. It's not that hard to do. https://fliphtml5.com/exru/vhtf/basic
Just looking at the pictures, the color head says "Single lamp" on it. It looks like a nicely extensive setup.
Really good, Tuco! I miss my GSW690III. Bob Watkins has had it for years, and he refuses to send it back. :(
