Interestingly, I've just found out that the CEGEP (college) in Montreal that
is the top francophone photo school here in the province of Quebec is under
pressure from the students to re-open the darkrooms.
They had closed them to replace the stations with computer stations. Hence
contrary to the "brains" of the photo department, photography students would
seem to consider that chemistry and silver is at least as important as
pixels.
Good for them...! -:)

Subject: RE: Omega D-2 enlarger
I would also like to suggest donating the enlarger to a camera club that
has a darkroom. Most camera clubs are non profit organizations are tax
exempt organizations under IRS 501(c)(3) which means your donation can be
deducted from your income tax.
If you are looking to sell it or to get an estimate of it's selling cost
take a look at Harry Taylor's Classic-enlargers site:
http://www.classic-enlargers.com
Harry is over in Stamford, CT and is considered one of the best sources
for info on the older Omega Enlarger series (B-22, D2, and D3). When
Berkey Photo, the distributer, for Omega went in belly up. Harry purchased
most of their stock of spare parts etc. He does buy and sell these all
time favorites.
I have no financial connection or interst with Classic Enlargers or Harry
Taylor.
