It was my father's and I feel lucky that it was my first little rig. It was capable enough to give nice results and by having everything simple and manual, it forced me to learn to understand the basics. I remember getting an Ansco starter kit that had a plastic, adjustable reel developing tank. My first print was a contact print of my kid brother and a black pekingese dog we had and I still have it. This was at about age 12 in the early 1960's. Nice memories of that magic moment watching the image emerge.... Never quite got over it, I guess.
