My ideal enlarging timer is the Gralab 300.
I would like something as simple and easy to operate, but much more
compact.
Any recommendations?

TIA,
Christopher Platt

I can tell what not to get. Avoid the 450. It's compact but you almost
need the lights on to use it.

Yep: the Beseler electronic timer. Dunno the exact model #: mine just
says "Audible/Repeating Enlarging Timer" on the front. Simple and
accurate. (Down to 0.1 sec.)

Where? Used, locally or on that small little on-line auction place.

the army had "brainwashed" him in Vietnam—-a remark which knocked Romney
out of the running for the Republican nomination—-McCarthy quipped,
"I think in that case a light rinse would have been sufficient."

I use a Time-O-Lite timer. They automatically reset to
whatever time you set and are small compared to the Gralab.
They are readily available used for not too much.
For a modern electronic timer see:

Better take a look at the Saunders ET 500. Compact
but with a lot of features. I've had mine four years and
think it will be around quite a few more. Dan
