The timer on my Devere 504 has stopped timing, however I have an old F-stop style timer that I have put before the Devere timer and the transformer, effectively controlling the duration of power to the transformer. Everything works now through the f-stop style timer with one exception: previously the fan ran constantly regardless of wether the enlarger lamp was on or not. With the "new" arrangement the fan only now comes on and turns off with the enlarger lamp. If the image is focussed or exposed for a long time the fan is on for that duration. The head of the enlarger seems to my touch to be no hotter than before -- no real heat in fact -- so my question relates to any problems I may be missing. I much prefer the new arrangement because the Devere timer was [for me] a PITA. I have printed for years using RH design f stop timers and much prefer that system and I prefer the silence in the darkroom without a constly running fan :). ============================================================================================================= To unsubscribe from this list, go to www.freelists.org and logon to your account (the same e-mail address and password you set-up when you subscribed,) and unsubscribe from there.
