Need a Reasonably Priced Darkroom Timer for an Amateur B&W Guy

I use the Meopta Vipo timer. 25+ years no problems.

I guess the 'Reasonably Priced' specification went out the window then!

Reasonable is relative. My target was to find a new timer for less than $200. The vintage but new-in-box Gralab 300 was less than half of that. It works. I'm happy. Nothing wrong with nostalgia. I like old things. My steel barn for instance holds a fifty-two year old MGB roadster, a forty-nine year old Fiat 124 spider and a forty-six year old Alfa Romeo GTV all in pristine condition. I've never personally flown an airplane that was made after 1978. My beautiful wife is sixty-one and she's priceless. :)

For me, reasonable priced for darkroom equipment is pretty low these days.

 

I got back into darkroom work about 10 years ago when someone was giving away an enlarger.

 

I still have my trays from when I was nine years old, and the Nikor tank I inherited from

my grandfather when I was 10, along with some other things from years ago.

 

I have Nalgene bottles that I bought from the chemistry store room in college,

about 40 years ago now.

 

Since the enlarger, I have found others with unwanted darkroom supplies,

free or for a very low price.

 

If I had to pay full price, I wouldn't have done it.

 

Well, another part was getting some Panalure to print some of the many

color negatives that I now have.

the clock display I wound up utilizing was a PDT 1020 model. This could precisely time from 0.1 seconds upwards, and had the capacity to turn off the safelight amid introduction, which made avoiding and consuming less demanding to see.

Another vote for the Gralab 300. It's just not a darkroom without one.
