Re: Pt/Pd Chemistry in Singapore



Thanks, Trevor,

The fellow in Singapore just called again and now has a question about enlargers. He's having a devil of a time finding a used unit that will only be used as a time-able lightsource to expose digital negs on silver gelatin paper. Quality construction and optics are not issues. I told him he could probably use a timer with a 15W bulb on the ceiling but he wants to be sure of even, center-to-corner illumination. 

Can you suggest any places there in Indonesia where he could pick up an inexpensive, used enlarger? Heck, here in the states people will practically pay you to haul them off. ;^) Oh, he wants the enlarger to provide a 16"x20" rectangle of light (or larger). 

Thanks again!

Dan

Hi Group,

A friend/student in Singapore is having difficulty finding simple  
things like citric acid, EDTA and other alt chemistry. Anyone have  
suggestions on sources in that part of the world?

Many thanks!

Dan
