[Mark Nelson]

Ryuji,

I have a friend who is a good photographer and printer.  He purchased one of these photo booths and refurbished it.  He has it up and running and did some work to optimize the photo prints it produces.  His name is Bruce Starrenburg.  I will send a copy of this to him so he can contact you.
Best Wishes,
Mark Nelson

This must be from 60s or 70s. Does anyone have information about how these devices were generally designed, in terms of optics, lighting, film stock, processing, etc? I'm not sure if this is exposed on direct positive paper stock directly with intense flash, or is it a negative-positive process. If latter, it'd take 2.5 min just to develop pictorial film in D-19 or DK-50 or whatever. Does this use an instant film stock?
