So I recently did a photography workshop where I learned how to develop B&W film, and then how use an enlarger to put those images onto paper. I am thinking about setting up my own darkroom at home and while searching for darkroom equipment I came across this one ad, where they are selling an entire "set". These are the main items:
- Opemus 6 enlarger
- YNA 6 enlarger
- Lubitel 166 Universal
- Revue dry mount press
- safelights
- some sort of protective filters
- some sort of professional air release
and a bunch of other stuff that is used in darkrooms.
Here is a link to the ad (it is in german): http://bit.ly/2fsm4De
In the description it says that the seller just found these items in his basement and even though he doesn't know anything about darkrooms, he thinks that all of the items are working as they should. The items can be tested. The asking price is 200 euros, which is roughly 220 USD.
So I am wondering, is the set worth the asking price? And if it is, how can I can make sure the items work as they should? Like I said before, I participated in a workshop, but we had an instructor, so I am not sure if I know enough to sufficiently test the equipment.
