GraLab Model 300 Electro-Mechanical Darkroom Timer - 120V/60/Hz
Even in total darkness you can read the minutes and seconds on GraLab's Model 300 Darkroom Timer. It is used in industrial/commercial photo labs, graphic arts, printing, hobbyist darkrooms and is probably the most popular darkroom timer of all time.
Set by seconds, minutes or a combination of the two, GraLab's exclusive dual-cam system gives you exact timing over long intervals.
Two, three-wire receptacles can control an enlarger or printer and safelight with a combination time/focus switch.
Rubber base pads, wall mounting keyholes and a recessed hand grip on the 7-1/2" x 7-1/2" x 2-1/2" polycarbonate case give you multiple placement choices.
- Plastic boot over power switch prevents corrosion from chemicals or water
- Buzzer automatically signals end of cycle (Volume controlled; Must be manually set)
- Large 6.5" diameter face with easy-to-read glow in the dark numerals
- Three wire grounded cord
- Model 300 withstands high impact, resists chemicals and moisture, and is electrically nonconductive.

Comments about GraLab Model 300 Electro-Mechanical Darkroom Timer:
I bought this for use on stage at a theater in NYC rather than a darkroom, so it gets a lot of wear and tear, but is holding up very well so far. It features a nice readable display, an adjustable buzzer sound, and an outlet for plugging in a bulb to go off when the timer is done. It's easy to use, as well.

Comments about GraLab Model 300 Electro-Mechanical Darkroom Timer:
Tired of all things digital, especially photo software, I decided to set up a small darkroom and break out my old OM1s, so ordered a whole kit from BH including the GraLab. I had other timer choices, but remembered the ease and comfort of the big timer's glow back in the days I processed and printed all over the world.
Overall, I'm not disappointed, although this model has a lot more plastic than the older ones and is a little "slicker" in design which results in a beveled case which makes it sit with a slight downward tilt.
On the positive side, it does exactly what I expected and appears to be very accurate and certainly easy and intuitive to use--great when you're really busy or new to darkroom work.
On the negative, it has a real cheesy on/off switch with a little plastic splash cover that makes the switch difficult to operate. I can't see the reason for this as the other switches have no covers and the device is certainly not water resistant. Additionally I've had trouble with the too-loud alarm making a buzzing sound even when turned all the way down. Both problems were easy to fix.

Comments about GraLab Model 300 Electro-Mechanical Darkroom Timer:
I had used the GraLab timer for about 4 months before I found one that I liked better.
I had no problem seeing the time in the dark and the cord fit into my enlarger fine. Also kept accurate time.
It is a decent timer. The replacement I found was more aesthetically appealing to me.
