Anyone want some darkroom kit ?

Sitting on a high shelf in my office/study/ spare bedroom is my Enlarger. It's not a famous brand, it has a mono head (add filters externally for multi-grade paper), which has a decent lens with it (a Schneider branded one IIRC), and it's capable of printing medium format as well as 35mm negs.  It has been on that shelf since about 2002, and now I want to get rid of the shelf, so it's time to get rid of the enlarger. I have some trays and measuring cylinders, tongs, and I think a development tank that can do 35mm and MF is in the box with those. There are probably some very out of date chemicals which I'll need to chuck :-)  

It's heavy, bulky and either needs to be collected from Oxfordshire (not Oxford city itself) or at a pinch I could drop it off somewhere but posting is not really an option.   

For this I am asking the princely sum of £0, if you take it and you feel that really you should have paid, give that amount to the RNLI or Children in Need, and if you feel you've ended up doing a trip to the tip with it instead of me swear under your breath... 


Any takers ? Reply or DM me.  I can provide more details, but I'm not getting it all down to check over / photograph if there is zero interest :-)

I donated all my darkroom equipment to a local college.

I may know someone that's interested as my boss wants to get back into film photography.

The main issue might be that while I'm in Bristol, he's in Inverness...

I shall ask - I'd potentially be able to hold it in Bristol as he passes occasionally to see family in Devon.

Jolly decent of you. Good PP community spirit. Hope you can find a good home for it.

I now have darkroom nostalgia, remembering my first time playing with an enlarger in mum's cellar 40 years ago. I can almost smell the chemicals. Happy days.
