No. 1 Eastman Printer Original Bulbs Excellent Cond.

For sale is a No. 1 Eastman Printer. Today we refer to this type of printer as a contact printer.

As a long-time photographer and collector of photographic memorabilia, I have decided to downsize and part with pieces of my collection. This printer was used as part of a display of photographic equipment (mostly Eastman Kodak) in our home listed on The National Register of Historic places and open for home tours. Because of frayed wiring (see photo) and unusual connector--which we didn’t wish to replace--we never turned on the printer so don’t know if the bulbs and switches work.

Note that the power plug is a screw-in type rather than the 2-prong variety. Visual inspection of the electrical components does not indicate any obvious failures. The bulb filaments look good.

The condition of the printer is the best we have ever seen. Not only is the wood case in excellent condition but also the printer is complete in regards to the bulbs and two glass plates. The old bulbs are of particular interest.

A very old red safe-light bulb is included. There is a control to rack one of the bulbs about to provide even illumination.

Negatives up to 8-inches wide can be accommodated. A switch turns on the lamps when the handle is depressed. The handle was removed to facilitate packing and shipment by removing three screws that will need to be reinstalled.
