Duolab123, The ceiling is only 6-5. I have a Beseler 45H and I'm going to have to build a custom enlarging table so I can use it, If you look, there's a huge ( I think 24000 BTU) A/C unit in the front. I can't get to the factory plate on it, but as it's on 60 Amps of breakers, it's got to have a pretty hefty output. So I've got incoming air. As that unit is sized for this thing being used in the Middle East, it's massive overkill for around here. I'm planning on swapping it out for a smaller heat/cooling unit I have and freeing up some power from the fuse box for other stuff. Oh, and the fuse box is 125 amps !
EVERYTHING in this unit is overbuilt ! The outside is aluminum, the inside walls are aluminum, the shelves and drawers are heavy gauge aluminum...
I'll give you an idea...there are 2 circuits for the outlet strip on each side-each one has it's own 20 amp breaker. The vent fan by the door is only 1.7 amps and it has it's own 20 amp breaker!
If you look at my post from yesterday -the government paid over 68K for this thing!
I bought it because in the long run, it'd be cheaper and easier than building a darkroom completely from scratch. I've got the wiring-which just needs a bit of changing around, I can run water to it with out too much trouble and I already have figured out that I can get a 20 gallon water heater into it.
It's not so much building a darkroom as modifying this into one.
