Developing and printing pictures at home using an original 1960s Johnson photographic enlarger. Step by step guide to developing photographs at home using antique equipment.
I watched this a while ago, but never left a comment but here goes: Thanks for this video. It helped me get my tiny darkroom started, as I had gotten this exact enlarger from eBay! I have since graduated to an older Meopta Optemus, but this small enlarger was perfect to get started in the limited space I have available. The tip about the bicycle LED light as a safe light was also instantly useful!
You're very welcome! I had health problems so I’ve been off-line for awhile I hope you’re still having fun in the dark room it’s unbelievable how film and chemistry has gone up in price almost 3 times what it was a year ago I’m going back to creating my own chemistry use in the coffenol method if you’ve never tried it have a look at my video It’s really simple and cost-effective
I believe your voice is only coming out of the left speaker channel in this video, unfortunately. I still enjoyed it despite that small technical difficulty, thank you for the video.
You also can spray some from a lighter gas can into the bottles with developer, it's heavier than oxygen. The oxygen will then not come in contact with the developer. There's also a special protection spray from Tetenal, wich works the same. BTW, both are flammable.
Thank you for this very fascinating video! What an awesome device and technique. And thanks for the marble tip. Last year, I had to move and was unable to get a darkroom ready until recently. Of course, my opened bottle of paper developer was of no use. I now know what to do in the future.

Very good demonstration!
Could you scan the instructions manual and put it on the Internet Archive?
Thank you for sharing this.
My pleasure!
What was the wattage of the bulb you used for the exposure?
