Getting near the end of furnishing out the darkroom. The new - to me - 35mm enlarger needed a timer to control exposures. After opening a couple of boxes, found the Varimatic 1500 Automatic Timer. Four days after finding the timer, finally found the instructions. They were hidden away in a file containing information on processing film! Now I haven't used this instrument for maybe 15 or so years. No idea as to how to set it up and how to use it. Started reading the users manual. This tool was manufactured by a company located in Amsterdam, NL The manual is 20 pages of details about the 1500. Reading along, came to this sentence:
"Start the densitometer function, by pressing the MEASURE key, while holding the STAR key down, like a typewriter shift key." Like a what - typewriter shift key? Notice no reference to a computer keyboard. Next step is to set up the Varmatic 1500 and give it a go. Check back for the results. (click on image to enlarge)
