dark room (black/white photography) equipment

Don't scrap it! As a former Radiographer, I know that you can easily offload that on Ebay or locally perhaps to a company that specializes with NDT (Non Destructive Testing). If you have a full dark room as well, in good shape, you might even be able to sell that. I know a lot of people who are self contractors in the industry and also who have been doing it for years. I personally only was in the industry for a year or so, unfortunately, but know there are people in search of that type of equipment. If you ever can get your hands on any of the used film, by all means grab it up. There are several buyers on here that will pay good money, per pound, for varies types of x-ray film. Let the forum know how you made out, its always nice and inspiring to here about other people's successes....
