Mains timer for film enlarger

[eyetea]

Hi all,

 

I've come into possession of an enlarger so I can now start doing darkroom stuff again woohoo!

 

Can anyone recommend / point me how to create a timer (or purchase one...) - I'd need 2 dials - 1 with second intervals and the other with 10 second intervals.

 

Would need to be 240v in and normal plug socket out, although I could cut/edit the cable from the enlarger if easier.

 

Cheers,

 

J!

 

Edit - I would also need an override to turn the light on without needing the timer for focussing!

I made one years back, I got the plans and design from a magazine. I will try and fish it out for you, hopefully I still have it in a box somewhere

Thanks both! Looking to do it as cheap as I can (within reason!) a couple on that site are around my budget, and I've got my eye on one on eBay with no one else watching and no bids so fingers crossed!
