Darkroom Equipment Purchase

Yesterday was very productive in terms of my purchase of the darkroom equipment. Used equipment, but nonetheless, in good condition! I think all I will need now is a film bag, some tongs, and chemicals and I'll be set! I am so excited - I don't think I've been this excited since I don't know when!! The seller lived 45 miles away, still in the foothills with snow I might add, but the drive was worth it. The previous owner had 'gone digital' but he was still saying, "I can't believe I'm getting rid of my darkroom equipment!" The enlargers (I got two) are still sitting on the kitchen counter, and I'm going to go thru and clean them up a bit. I've also been on the internet looking for the manuals - which I think I found in Canada no less, but I found them. The enlargers are: a Beseler Dichro 67S and the other a Vivitar E54. Some of the websites I visited were: Camerabooks.com, jollinger.com, freestyle.com, and khbphotografix.com to name a few.
