Darkroom Equipment for free
      #745915 - 03/01/2009 10:48

Hi,

I have finally gone digital and have some darkroom stuff that I no longer need.

It's a load of bits and bobs including a Paterson focuser, some jugs, thermometer, developing pots etc, and some chemicals.

drop me a line if you would like it - ideally to pick up in Central London

cheers,

Les

Welcome to the forum Les....A noble gesture, donating that equipment.If you have no takers....might I suggest your local community centre? With all those cutbacks in Education, they may be glad of the donation.

Hi Dugc

I have actually got a taker for this stuff, but some of the things I have two of - and I have quite a bit of paper.

So - how about I split the stuff in two. I'll include some stuff for you to get you going and the larger paper I'll give to the other chap along with some other bits and bobs.

Everyone's a winner

Cheers,

Tom.

Works for me, best to spread the fortune I think... Paper is always useful but I'm mainly short of cylinders & storage... I don't need safelights at all so if you have those they will do more good for Doug I think - but however it pans out will be good

ok - I'll see what I have to complete your kit. I must admit that I loved doing my own negs but nowadays with a small daughter and other things I never get time!

Ant - I'll bring the other stuff along on Friday.
