Carlwen after market negative carriers are some of the best and most convenient negative carriers made, and as the experienced darkroom worker knows, negative carriers can make or break an enlarger. Carlwen is no longer in business. Carlwen carriers are now only available on the used market. Carlwen carriers are separate from Carlwen bases. The carriers will fit bases for different enlargers, but the bases are specific to the enlargers. Bases accept different width carriers. The bases are made primarily of Phenolic, which means that the Aluminum carriers slide easily through the bases and that the holes in the bases are easily enlarged if necessary. You may often print a shorter negative in a longer frame opening. Oil immersion carriers require a glass top plate to hold down the negative and appropriate oil. I can have top glass plates made. I presently do not know what is appropriate oil for this purpose, but the oil should have the same refractive index as does the film base--which results in elimination of scratches and dust and other minor imperfections. I am told that clear mineral oil will work. I can make bases for some enlargers.

Negative carriers can make or break an enlarger. Few negative carriers are well designed. Cheap glassless negative carriers like Omega and Beseler allow the film to buckle under heat, crop too much of the image and reflect light off the inside edges of the carrier opening making even more of the perimeter of the image unuseable. Expensive glassless negative carriers like some Durst carriers have beveled interior edges, but still crop into the image and allow buckling. Glass carriers prevent the film from buckling, but still oftentimes cut off some of the image. Of course, with glass carriers you have 4 extra surfaces to keep clean and may encounter Newtonrings. I have developed a glassless stretching type negative carrier that holds the film taught without glass and yet still allows printing of the full image--even the full negative. I have built 2 such carriers for use with an 8X10 Durst. I can build carriers for other enlargers and other formats. I may be able to build an insert to fit inside your carrier. I should be able to build a carrier to fit most sheet film enlargers. The design will not work with rollfilm. The cost will vary with the effort required. The 8X10 Durst carriers are priced at $500 and $2000. Here are the listings for the 8X10 Durst carriers:
CUSTOM GLASSLESS STRETCHING TYPE NEGATIVE CARRIER FOR 8X10 DURST, film is held taught without glass, allows printing of entire negative, requires use of Condit 8X10 diagonal punch, or some other small hole punch to punch holes in corners of negative as the negative is held in the carrier with small springs that must go through small holes in the negative corners, made of oak with velvet bearing strips around the perimeter of the top and bottom to protect your enlarger negative stage, negative may be oriented vertically or horizontally, carrier may be inverted, with handle, may be made for other formats and other enlargers as well, NEW, a GLENNVIEW product, $300

There is storage for the power cord recessed into the bottom of the viewer. There is room in the front half of the viewer storage and transport case for the storage of additional slides. I use this to show clients slides I have taken for them and prospective clients examples of my work. The only drawback to it's use is that your slides had better be up to the quality of the viewer. Many have coveted the viewer, but I do not attempt to sell it while trying to sell my photography.

Graphic Technology, Inc. 10 Amp capacity solid state timer. This came in with an 8X10 Durst that I purchased from a Printing firm. It works, and even though there is an abbreviated instruction sheet that pulls out from the base, it is still difficult to operate. It has injputs at the rear for exposure probes; perhaps an exposure probe is required for operation. The % and density functions are very promising; perhaps this could work as a drydown timer with the % function. The manufacturer exists. I found them on the web at GRAPHIC TECHNOLOGY, INC., but I did not contact them. I will price the timer cheaply and let you do the research. I might be interested in purchasing a probe and instruction manual for this timer. $50.

SOLD
Lektra TM-8 1500W capacity solid state timer, similar to the above, just as clean cosmetically inside and out, but not working. Switches have been tested and are working. Contactor barely looks used. For parts; a new contactor alone would cost my asking price. $60. I recommend you buy it along with the above timer for parts.
Lektra TM-8 1500W capacity timer, .1 second to 111 seconds, outlets for enlarger, safelight and foot pedal or remote controls, with indestructible stamped feet on the bottom and back sides and with keyholes on back side, you may stand it upright or lay it down on its back or wall mount it, Ex+, $225. Although older than the above and not with as much solid state components as the above timer, this is no less viable. It does the same job. It is more easily repairable by the hacker. I had reason to suspect that the start switch was in need of cleaning. I was able to open up the switch, clean it, reassemble it and it once again worked. This older American made switch was made with silver coated copper contacts. The newer model above would have needed to have the switch replaced--necessitating locating and paying for a new switch and desoldering and resoldering the new switch in place.

DRY MOUNTING EQUIPMENT
Buy all of the dry mount tissue listed here + the press + the tacking iron + the laminating machine @ $25% off the listed prices.
Seal Junior 60 8.5X11" dry mounting press, single temperature for B&W, temperature may be adjusted with your rheostat, there is some dry mount tissue stuck to the platen--which may be removed with UNSEAL, a solvent made by the manufacturer, otherwise very clean, $200. Notes: This is the 1st choice of those who do not make big prints. Great for mounting pages from magazines and 8x10" photos. You may mount larger photos up to 24" in width by any length in sections. Buy this dry mount press and all the Kodak 11X14, 8X10, 5X7 tissue and receive copies of Seal literature at no extra charge. If you pick up the press I will give you an open can of UNSEAL; I will not ship the UNSEAL.

Like new in box with 3 cotton socks, $75 by itself or $60 with the purchase of the above dry mounting press and some dry mount tissue.
Kodak thermount iron. 3 1/4 X 5" platen. This is perfect for the composite maker. A composite is a whole bunch of individual portraits all mounted on the same board--such as a composite of a sorority house or a nurses graduating class, both of which I have made in my career. The composite business is a good one. You sell the composite to the sorority house. You sell small copies of the composite to each individual. You sell portrait packages to each individual and to the parents and relatives. You spend a few hours photographing one sorority house and sell tons of prints. This would also be useful for woodworkers for installing iron on wood veneer edging. Decades old, like new in box. RARE. $100.
Kodak and Seal MT5 dry mount tissue are virtually the same item and are designed for permanent mounting of B&W prints. One of the boxes of Kodak tissue has a Seal product change note inside of it; Seal may well have made tissure for Kodak. They both require high heat--such as is provided by the Seal Junior 60 dry mount press listed above. It is archival and it works very well. Both of these tissues are no longer available new. If you appreciate them as I do, buy my old stock. It does not go bad unless you melt it. I have not had any go bad in my lifetime.

SAFELIGHTS and safelight filters
Thomas Sodium Vapor safelight, with bulb, red orthochromatic filter set for use with all B&W materials except panchromatic, designed to be hung from ceiling for whole room illumination, $OLD, but the buyer bought only the housing. The bulb is still available for $30. The bulb is one that I bought new and used very little. The bulb has mercury in it. It is illegal to ship mercury. Must pick up or come up with an alternative to shipping it. NOTE: The amber filter is for graded paper; it will fog variable contrast paper. VC paper has 2 emulsions; the high contrast emulsion is sensitive to bluish light, the low contrast emulsion is sensitive to bluish light. You may use the red filter with variable contrast paper. In spect your filters; what kind of condition are they in? Thomas filters tend to be very old and/or they did not hold up well. I can supply a superior quality red filter.

Photo is of the end of a regular white FT20T12 fluorescent bulb and of an identical bulb inside one of the safelight sleeves. I stopped at Home Depot and found that they had several fixtures available with F20T12 bulbs. They were all very compact--being designed as under cabinet fixtures for use in kitchens, etc. and would work very well in a low ceilinged darkroom. The prices varied from $13-24 for a fixture with a single bulb. These fixtures could be mounted vertically or horizontally on a wall or ceiling. SAFE FOR VARIABLE CONTRAST PAPER.

PHOTOGRAPHIC ROLL PAPER
This paper came from a large commercial lab that closed. It was in storage in the cold storage room at the lab, but w/o the cooler being in operation. This was on the ground floor of a 3 story big old brick building that did not get very hot due to the mass of the building. This paper has not been in cold storage since Spring 2001. The paper is in the cardboard boxes without any protective wrapping inside. Before I ship it out I will wrap the paper in black plastic. I have tested the B&W roll, but I have not tested the color paper because I do not have an RA-4 line set up. I did measure the paper with a vernier caliper in the dark. Those measurements are included in the descriptions. The paper is being sold as-is, with no return priviledge. Hopefully the low price will make the paper attractive. Hopfully the paper is good and you will get a great deal. Buy all of the paper @ 1/2 price.

STAINLESS STEEL TRAYS
Comments about stainless steel trays: there is insufficient demand for new ones today to warrant making dies and stamping them. Stamped metal trays are the best because corners and edges are curved and seamless. Look at the trays Calumet offers; hand made of flat stock, bent and welded SS. SS trays for any given format are typically oversize--to allow room to maneuver the print in the tray.
30X40X6" tray (actually slightly oversize--for 30X40" material), with or without sturdy wood stand at no extra charge, welded with right angle edges, Ex, $225. This is 36" high at the top rim when in the stand made for it. This could easily be made into a sink with the addition of a drain.

2 14X17" trays, Ex+, w/serpentine tubing welded to base for tempering, stamped from sheet stock, NEW-OLD-STOCK, $150 each. The developing trays have a compartment with an S-shaped passageway for tempering water to flow through welded to the bottom of the trays; the welding operation is the reason for some discoloration of the SS. These trays were made for a perfectionist and never used; corks were installed by the manufacturer in the ends of the SS tubing that have never been removed. These could be used for Cibachrome or other color processing, B&W 2 part compensating developers, etc.
