Gralab 451. No foot switch. Really I don't do much dodging and burning, and if I do, it's pretty simple stuff that doesn't preclude me from hitting the big fat start button at the base of the 451.

Yes.

No....

Thing about time-o-lites is that they should be first set to "zero" to see if any time is added to the first second, and beyond this check to see if there is any interval between when the button is pushed and the timer actually starts to move. Otherwise, time-o-lites can be great - and quite bombproof when used with high voltage light sources.

Tried a footswitch once , hated it I use a simple timer that I can reach in dim light to work on the multiple hits when I print.
I move around the easel a lot when I print to access different areas of the print , not being stationary while printing makes a footswitch almost impossible for me to use.

Adding to this issue

How many non working Timers have you bought from 'friends' on this forum!

[d.s.]

Yes.

I just looked it up, professional curiosity... B&H: P72 timer $543.50; FS65 footswitch $94.95; shipping $20 (?). For a total of $658.50.

Back to the original question: I use 3 footswitches: one for the enlarger timer; one for a white light at the enlarger easel; and one for the inspection light above the fixer tray.
