Hello!
Hi,
I've been exploring analogue photography for a couple of years and I've been working in a local community darkroom in Brighton. Mike |

Help needed!
Hi,
I joined FADU on the recommendation of a friend, because we need to replace some equipment. We have a DeVere 504 on loan - a beautiful machine, but it is going soon, along with a dry mount press. So we are going to be a bit stuffered unless we can find replacements at a reasonable/low cost. If anyone can help (and yes I know it is a bit cheeky to join a group and immediately ask for help), then please let me know. I don't seem to be able to use the 'wanted' forum... Many thanks, Mike |

Welcome to the forum Mike. Certain facilities become available as you settle in here. Good luck with your search.

Welcome Mike. Nice that there is a community darkroom in your area. They are becoming very scarce.

Welcome Mike, Ihave a Durst M305 enlarger with transformer and timer looking for a home. There is also a Durst Neonon f2.8 50mm 6 element lens. It is a colour enlarger but I think only for 35mm. It belongs to a friend and I think an offer of about £20 would secure it. I live near Leatherhead Surrey not too far away. It might tied you over and a second enlarger is always useful.

Welcome Mike.
Keep your eyes peeled. You'd be surprised what turns up on the net especially if you're willing to travel.

Thanks for the words of encouragement guys!
Yes - we are lucky to have a community darkroom currently available to people for less than £10 a day including chemicals. It's really good to know that everyone can try analogue processing and printing. That's a kind offer Tony! We do already have a second enlarger though - so really looking for a new main one, plus press. And we don't do colour (yet?) so a b/w would be ideal. It's a shame all this beautiful old equipment is dying off. I'd love to give another 504 a long lease of useful life! Also - I can't seem to make albums in FADU! And what do I have to do to become a 'friend'? Am I locked out of everything until I make a hundred posts or something? All the best Mike |
