    Incoming! Another big enlarger!

    These things are now finding me. No details until it gets home and set up in 2 months. Zip Nada

    But it is a nice one, no not free.

    If anybody is keeping count, I did sell my 10X10 FOTAR a year ago. A very fine enlarger that needed no adjustments at all. Difficult cable and weight system. Later FOTAR have safety locks, mine did not. I used Wilton C clamps. Basicly a 400% copy of DeVere 4X5.

    That said I still think the Calumet 10X10 is almost better as it breaks down easier, is inherently safer, way easier to move. Shippable. I kept that one. The biggest flaw is the chintzy baseboard, but that is easily remedied.

    My tiny Saltzman is on hold. It is the smallest and lightest of any 10X10 Salzman. I think the 14" condenser gave me a hernia. I did have hernia surgery last Spring...then things got much worse. All good now!

    I gave one 8X10 Iron Elwood away. I still have and use the aluminum version. Elwoods are Art just sitting there.

    Even retired people need goals and plans.

    If you made this far, it was 73F today and I mowed my lawn.

    73??? Where'd you end up Randy? That's 30 deg warmer than Chicagolandia.

    How's that big sink? I once filled it to the top to check it's weight capacity.

    Almost a year later, I'm just framing out the darkroom... It's going to be awesome, tho!

    Geez, man. You buy a shed, and it turns into the Moe Museum of Large Extinct Beasts! Did you realize that more space was going to lead to more stuff? :-)
    Thanks, but I'd rather just watch:

    It was to mulch to leaves, I have 6 huge trees, they gotta be as old as the house, 100 years or more.

    I have many times. All dismantled now.

    That’s the past. New vistas await creation.

    I may adopt Drew’s imaging policy.
