Amazing how many there are. Power strips (4), Intellifaucet (2), JOBO (1), Battery back-up for JOBO (2), Electronic dust catcher (2), Stereo (whole panel of stuff). When I got finished, I had tape left over. So I taped all of my LOGO's. ZBE, JOBO, Hass, AIWA, Sharper Image, Arkay, Leedel, Pako, Kodak, Ilford, Agfa, Fuji, Graphic, Singer, Dunwright & Vogel, Tetenal, Weston, Gralab... Whew... finally ran out of tape. ;) Jim At 10:40 AM 5/17/01 -0700, Mark Rabiner wrote: > >I took the tape off my Leica's when it looked like they were going under >about 3 >years ago. >The tape was one less thing to worry about. > >I walked into my darkroom a year or two ago with a roll of black tape and a >pair >of sizzlers to Blacktape some distracting logos.
