Yep. That's where I got (and what I paid for) my antique Time-o-Lite, which
still works as well as the day it was made, lo these many decades later.

But I must admit I've been spoiled by the electronical timer what came with my
enlarger; being able to dial in times down to the tenth of a second, and
easily change times with nicely detented dials, means the old O'Lite sits
unused. (I b'leeves you can buy these electronical doohickeys on eBay too, but
they'll be a little more than the old mechanical Graylabs and Time-o-Lites.)

I was quickly apprised that an "RSS feed" was not, as I had naively
imagined, some new and unspeakable form of sexual debauchery practised
by young persons of dubious morality, but a way of providing news
articles to the cybernetic publishing moguls of the World Wide Wait so
they can fill the airwaves with even more useless drivel.

Metronome.  A case of the frugal solution also being the superior one.  :)

Had thought about this - good to hear from someone who has tried it!

If you have a Palm Pilot PDA, there are nice freebie timer programs.

Do these devices have any accessible ports that could be used to drive a
relay? Then you could have all the functionality of a real darkroom timer,
with not too many external parts.
