Hi Chris Good luck with your little project, but I don't think it will save you very much money. I built a electronic release for my MZ-5n because I thought the $45 cdn was too much to ask for what is essentially only a two stage switch. Mine cost about $20 in parts, but took a few hours to put together. Net savings effectively zero, and the switch is butt ugly, but it was fun to build.
Is the idea that the timer automatically turns off the light source? - If not you may as well just buy a kitchen timer. -Scott ----- Original Message ----- From: Chris Murray <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, May 27, 2002 2:52 PM Subject: building a darkroom timer > Being the cheapskate that I am.
