    Description

    Vintage Darkroom: 50mm f/4.5 Kodak Ektanon, Beseler board, timer, safelight
    This bundle of darkroom equipment was donated to the Argus Museum in Ann Arbor for sale on eBay. I am selling it as a group, with free shipping, to anyone who is willing to take it all. All proceeds go to the Museum. See below for descriptions of the individual items.
    50mm f/4.5 Enlarging Ektanon:
    Glass and coating look perfect, some internal dust and debris, no mold or fungus. The board and lens barrel are plastic. IMPORTANT: the board (which is 2 5/8 X 2 5/8 inches) is permanently integrated with the lens barrel -  there is no easy way to use this lens on another board. Look also at the right of photo 2, showing that a previous user has filed off the edges of 4 holes that appear to have been artifacts of the original mold.
    Beseler 8015 Drilled Lens board in box:
    minor surface deterioration, box has a torn edge (see photo 3). It is 4" X 4" with a 30mm diameter hole. Comes with the retaining ring from a 75mm f/4.5 Projection Ektar.
    Kodak 2-way Safelamp:
    there is some heat distortion of the plastic on one side (see photo 4) and a few nicks in the red paint. It comes with 1 OC safelight filter panel. The other panel black-painted metal.
    Mark-Time Photographic Timer:
    Excellent overall condition. Looks neat when the light is turned off (see photo 5). I don't see any provision for turning it on asynchronously for focussing the enlarger.
    Kodak Projection Print Scale:
    in unused condition. Very handy.
    Guarantee:
    30-day return for any reason. I pay the return shipping.
    Other charges:
    In the USA, the eBay invoice will include local sales tax.
    Shipping:
    Free, USA and APO/FPO addresses only.
