Hi Geoff, 
This design appeals a lot to me not only because it could probably solve my 
print coverage problem but also eliminates my system of clamps for my neg/paper 
sandwich. Now, i just have to find those 90 cm tubes. 
About you Goerz; Im not into collecting but I think, judging from the huge 
turnout of sellers from all over Europe i saw last year, theres a big chance 
someone who has it will bring it there. Its really one big photographic 'souk'. 
They have some photos to give you an idea, just click the 'accueil' in their 
site and keep refreshing the page...
Well, i'll be there so i'll ask around for you.
Thanks again for the design!!!
Ding

Ding (and Tom),

I'm using 24" (60cm) fluorescent tubes and full sheets of watercolour paper. I'd 
recommend 'building' a box using 6 36" (90cm) tubes - I suffer from slight light 
falloff printing to 24" but 18" prints are fine. Construction is a doddle - just 
buy narrow fluorescent tube light fittings and make a box with the tubes at the 
bottom and put a sheet of 6mm glass over the top of the box about 12" from the 
tubes. Neg/paper lie on the glass face down, cover with a sheet of plexiglass 
and about 6kg of books spread over the top to give good contact. It works.

Obscure photo-gadgetry??? I'm looking for a Goerz Tenax 8x14 roll film camera in 
good condition (preferably with Dagor lens) - is that the sort of thing I might 
find?

Avec plaisir Tom! 
Btw, If you're into collecting or simply looking for some old obscure photo 
gadgetry, You can time your coming with the Bièvres International Photo Fair, 
it's one of the biggest and longest running photo fair happening in Europe  
http://foirephoto-bievre.com/index.php?lang=en  It's near my place. How's that 
for a double excuse to visit Paris.  heheheheh.. 


Regarding my setup, im sure the uv bank of tubes would give me a better work 
scenario.  Only trouble is i have 8 other Osram bulbs on reserve because i read 
somewhere that the lifespan of this lights are not as long as other options
(1000 hrs?). Also the prospect of figuring out wirings, ballasts, carpentry, 
etc., is not very enticing to my 'plug and play' sensibilities. :-) Cheers, Ding
