Timer for Unicolor motor base
I'd like to be able to plug my Unicolor motor into a timer. Can someone
recommend one? It would have to read in minutes and seconds and I would prefer a digital readout. Some of the enlarger timers might work, but often they only read in seconds. Thanks, Jon |

Does it have any audible alarm when the timer reaches zero? Jon |

If I remember right the buzzer is so loud you might not want it on-)) http://www.dimco-gray.com/gralab/Cat..._300.asp?m=300 That's it. Been around a very long time so finding a used one shouldn't be too hard. Nick |

Yeah my older "300" is so loud that I jump right out of my socks when it
goes off but the newer "300's" have a volume control. You could also rig something to the safelight socket--off while the enlarger socket is on--on and chiming, buzzing, etc. at the end of the timing cycle. -- darkroommike ---------- "Nick Zentena" wrote in message ...

I use a Unicolor motor base with Jobo drums and plug the base into the timer. The base makes a grinding and whirring noise when it runs. When the noise stops, then the time is over. Sort of a 'reverse buzzer effect': I feel relief when the time is up rather than panic. -- Nicholas O. Lindan, Cleveland, Ohio Consulting Engineer: Electronics; Informatics; Photonics. |
