Canadian Foto Equipment film drying cabinet

Anybody heard of Canadian Foto Equipment? I'm looking at buying a film drying cabinet made by that company for $400 CAD. Reasonable price?
I can't find any info.
Thanks,
Ken

never heard of them and Google doesn't bring up anything. $400 sounds decent, any pics/dimensions or description of the cabinet ?

I have one , bought it in 1990 and is still working today , though in very rough shape to look at... this company was a Ma and Pa operation and I am positive they are no longer active, and if you find one in good shape for 400 bucks its a steal

Thanks for the replies.
I got this from Kevin Brown at KBH Photo: "The drying cabinets are of decent quality but the ones I have seen lacked proper safety with regards to the electrical wiring, proper guards for the fan and over-temperature devices for the heater. They may have been upto standards of the 70s & 80s but do not meet current standards. Whenever I repaired them (usually for schools etc) I upgraded them to improve safety.”
