WITHDRAWN - Complete dark room- Beseler Dichro 67 - Must pick up in NNJ. Any reasonable offer

Hi all. Like most folks who were deep into film developing and printing but who now have gone digital, I no longer use my Beseler 67 Dichro. It has been sitting in my darkroom (actually the storage room behind my garage) with a cover over it for well over a decade. Besides the enlarger, I have the developing tanks, rotator for the tanks, easels, trays, Omega color analyzer, and enlarger lenses to go with it all. Even have a shelf full of paper for you to play with. Also have a stabilized power supply and timer along with dark room bulbs (both fluorescent and incandescent).
If anyone is interested, please get back to me. Any decent offer would be considered. Also you'll have to pick it up since shipping will probably cost a small fortune. I can send photos if you are interested and want to see it.
Thanks

My sister had a complete darkroom with a special sink, trays, tray holders, enlarger, fan, light, lenses, tanks, easels, etc and she just gave it to her gardener who probably thought he could make a buck or two off of it. We tried to donate it to local schools. Nope. We tried to give it away to many places after running a short ad to sell it cheap. I'm glad her gardener took it. Otherwise, it would have gone to the dump.

I know not too many folks are into developing, but I have spoken to schools and universities that did want the equipment. What stopped me was that they wanted me to deliver it and guarantee the equipment would be in full working condition and if not, that I would pay for any repairs. Sorry, but if I'm giving you equipment, you don't get free delivery and a guarantee. Rather keep it in my garage and plan to one day use it to print some of my negatives.

I truly wish I had the space for it but at this time I don't. Good luck might be better off just holding onto it.

Thanks. If for sentimental reasons I may just keep it but Hopefully there's a UHHer who wants to explore what you can do in a darkroom

I feel your pain. I have a complete dichro 6X7 enlarger AND an Omega D2 4X5. Great lenses on them too. Maybe when I move out they'll become part of the house. Might have to leave quietly.
