Naw, don't go there, I've been building 16x20 film holders, pining for the day when I can
shoot "real" film, instead of lith film. (20x24 are next). I can make Eau Claire in about
7 when I visit the grandkids (3 if I fly, but if you think auto gas is expensive, not to
mention tie down fees, etc.)to give you an idea.

On a positive note,and in having at least something to do with r.p.darkroom, I got my W-L
Pro6 processor home last weekend, set up the temps and process times last night and
proceeded to dry run some empty film reels(using water in all the tanks, just in case of
course) 10 runs, time/temp compensation working like a champ, process temps and times
right on the money, good bye hand C41, this is going to be a fun summer, dammit. (not to
mention not having the tech bitch about cross processing to me every time I drop off film.)

So if anybody (or you know anybody) that needs parts for a Wing Lynch mode 4 (except for
heaters, those I'm keeping with a few tanks.) I've got a complete one, tubes, all cards,
etc. that I'm parting out.

You might want to consider it, as I offered before, it's only a 10
hour drive or so....

Ten hours. That is about 24 gallons of gas. See what measures we've come
to? But wait, how many sheets of 8x10 B&W film is that? OMH, I'm getting
so depressed.
