[Leica] FS Friday (8/30/02) books + darkroom

[pmjensen <pmjensen@concentric.net>]

Sorry if for any of you this is a double post. There's some mail/my 
SP/LUG whatever computer funkiness going on this A.M. (as probably also 
evidenced by Slobodan's test).

Darkroom:

Oriental (aka Gravity Works) Archival Film Washer for rolls and sheets up 
to 4x5 (12 sheets, basket included). Tried-and-true automatic 
fill-and-dump system. Good condition cosmetically, perfect working order 
(there's nothing to ever wear out). About 80 bucks new, asking US$40 plus 
shipping.

Jobo 3006 Expert Sheet Film Drum for 6-4x5 or 5x7 sheets (w/cog lid).
In excellent condition with one MAJOR exception: five of the six chambers 
are perfect. The sixth had a minute inside crack which I repaired, and in 
fact way over-repaired (!!!), with dental adhesive (IIRC). All six 
chambers work perfectly but one chamber is partially rough-sided (with 
extra adhesive). I had very high technical standards (Zone System, et al) 
when I was Linhofing about the high country and this tank (and all six 
chambers), by those standards, FUNCTIONS perfectly. I am pricing to move 
this thing - already sold the CPA-2, etc. - and I think this is a steal 
for anyone who needs a 3006 tank and doesn't want to spend the big bucks 
for new. But please note, that sixth chamber is cosmetically funky. 
BplusH wants 242.95; I'm asking only $75 plus shipping (batteries not 
included). Please email if further info is required.

Omega SS 35mm developing tank (2 reel) with two reels. Has an 
"aftermarket" lid (probably off of some jug, but it works). Exc. 
condition. Bought this used on eBay a few years ago and never used it (I 
think plastic is fantastic). $12 plus shipping.

Books for sale:

ST. ANSEL ADAMS SET (you wept over the documentary, now get the rest of 
the story):
The Camera, Ansel Adams, pb, exc. (the one and only; every home library 
needs one)
Ansel Adams: a biography, Mary Street Alinder, hb, illustrated, like new,
Ansel Adams and the American Landscape, Jonathan Spaulding, hb, 
illustrated, like new
History of Photography journal, Winter 1996, pb, like new sample, 
(Steiglitz issue, for the heck of it. See how the professional historians 
do it.)
Asking US$20 plus shipping.

Mountains of the Middle Kingdom, Galen Rowell, hc, dust jacket slightly 
torn, otherwise exc. (yeah, I know he used a Nikon - there are natives 
from Lhasa to Bora Bora who know he used only Nikons) $20. 
(lots more climbing books - and bike racing, for that matter - for the 
armchair alpinist, if anyone's interested).

Any questions, please contact pmjensen@concentric.net off-list.
