Frank:

They had two the last time I checked, must of sold one. It is missing
the lamp and the lens. I looked for the neg carrier and couldn't find
it, maybe they had it in a drawer somewhere. Also, it was absolutely
filthy, from chemistry stains and God knows what other revolting
darkroom habits. It looked like whoever used it must of smoked in the darkroom.
Now I know why, when I was learning photography in Germany, I swept and
mopped for the first 6 months. Only after that was I allowed to agitate
the master photographer's prints in the fix only. Year down the line I
could agitate the prints in the developer. I was never allowed to
process his film. I was grateful for that, as I'm sure I would of
botched it, as I did so often with my own film. But then 120 film was
¢.32 a roll.

Best,
 Slobodan
