Hi Gary,
Nice blog indeed. Nice to read.
The other site in your signature www.foolscape.net seems to be off line?
I get this message: "Sorry! This site is no longer available."

That's a relief. Now, I can start a new web site.

Thanks!

Don't you just turn the light on, spin the dial and set it to zero... Put your negative in place, and spin the dial until the light spot that you are adjusting matches what you can see of the negative? Then read the density off the dial. Best I can tell from pictures and what I assume of the operation, there should be two light bulbs, one in the base and one in the head... The one in the head shines through the yellow dial probably into a mirror that points up to your eye... While the light on the base has a straight path up to your eye (through your negative).

So, you adjust the dial until the small dot in the center matches the larger dot surrounding it, and that's your density?

I did some densitometer investigation, and discovered why I couldn't make heads or tails out of it. There was black crud throughout the inside, including on the lenses and mirrors. I took it apart, and cleaned it up. Now, I can get the dots to match. Why didn't I think of that before?

Sounds like you figured it out!
