I use an old beat-up Gralab timer. I turn off the buzzer as it usually sends me thru the ceiling and since I do not listen to music I can hear it shut off at the end of the time. This way I can keep it down below the counter with the trays on it (developing 11x14 negs)...no problem with the glow that way.

Gad -- last thing I want to hear is my own voice!

I can develop five 8x10s at once in a Jobo Expert Drum -- I wash each neg in its own 8x10 tray...exchanging the water about 5 times each, and a little aggitation between water changes.
