Re: Under new management

As Oscar mentioned, he's passed the reins to me. Many thanks to Oscar for looking after the forum for the past six years, and for all the help in getting me up and running. The transition should have been transparent, but please let me know if you have any issues. Similarly, while I'm not planning o...

Re: Help needed setting up enlarger

Hi Nathan, I did a little googling and found that it is common to run 82V lamps on 110V supplies. I don't know why it works (I can't get the numbers to work out, but my AC power theory is rusty). I do trust KHB though, so if that is what they say as well, then it sounds like it's right. So yes, the ...

Connect the transformer directly to 240V and the enlarger and the enlarger should ...
