Here in Detroit, a friend had to close his business and leave his building due to health. A few things remain for the landlord to clear out and sell for scrap.

This is probably completely insane, but here goes. For next to nothing, it can all be yours. But you OBVIOUSLY have to pick them up and cart them away and never, never, NEVER bring them back.

Omega D5500 - no lens.

Fotar 8x10 enlarger, with Chromega F head. Big Honker. Heavy. Huge. Fine enlarger. WALL MOUNT, 8 feet minimum needed.

Fotar chassis, floor mount. There may, or may not, be the pieces to make an enlarger.

Many Beseler chassis.

DeVere 810 chassis. A hulk. Handyman's Special.

A couple Kreonite processors. Unplumb them, and they are yours.

King Concepts. Image Processor. One, maybe two. Rip them off the wall, scrounge the place for all the spare parts you can find.

LUCHT roll easel BIG

It's all going to be GONE next Friday.

If you are crazy enough to be interested, here's the contact info

( be gentle, he just needs to empty the building )

Doug Johns ( landlord )

This is going to really frustrate John Callow.:D

Yes, it does. Although, Kreonites wear socks that smell...

Don's freind is a guy I met once. A really nice fellow who I was told either had or could find any peice of photo equipment you could ever want.

Aren't there any heads for those Beseler chassis? Are we talking about 4x5 Beseler chassis?

It's a very good thing Callow is in Vancouver. Getting the E6 machine down the steps to his old darkroom would have required lots of beer and a direct line to Douglas Adams.

Oh, well.

AH, YES ! There are at least a couple 45 beseler chassis. I don't know if there are any heads for them. I suspect the heads were scavenged by some good folks who can be found on Ebay, at least one Minolta head.

I was moving pretty fast, partly because it was cold.

Callow wouldn't have enjoyed seeing ALL THAT color chemistry, and rolls of paper, just sitting there. And it is still there. The healthiest looking RA-4 / C-41 soup was probably the AGFA stuff. But just don't tell him.

A friend made some pictures. You'll have to look hard. There ARE some interesting things.

If anyone is interested in picking up the 8x10 and taking it up north to Cross Village, let me know!

I'm really sad. I can just imagine what the vultures got earlier if this is what is left.

Yes. I think one of the teachers at UM Flint made off with half a ton of D76, Dektol, and Fixer. That's good.

Hey - Oh.
