Re: [APML] Hypered film- no Lumicon

["Bert Katzung" <katzung1@attbi.com>]

Hi Alan:
There will probably be Lumicon systems coming on the used market. In fact,
given my lack of time, I would be willing to sell my Lumicon 600 system---
It's complete with the medium film tank (holds one roll of 35 mm or 120 film
unrolled on a reel or multiple 35 mm film cassettes), small Lumicon forming
gas tank, valves & tubing, 50 degree thermostat and heater, and hand
operated vacuum pump. It's been used maybe a dozen times, so it's
practically new. If you're interested let me know off list ---
