The fun is in building the thing. But the more I look at it, it may not be worth it. I thought about building the cable release, but mine would have been a lot bigger than the pentax one so I just bought it :) The enlarger I bought has no on/off switch, but I suppose i could use a power bar or something as an on/off mechanisim. - Chris -- Chris Murray /"\ [EMAIL PROTECTED] \ / ASCII RIBBON CAMPAIGN http://apeman.org/ X AGAINST HTML MAIL Cell: 604.861.8307 / \/ - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
