Has anyone used a Melico Photolog Densitometer TDI? I bought one a while ago off ebay for a decent price, howether it came without an instruction manual or calibration chip/device. I have searched high and low for a manual but I have failed in finding one. Does anyone know where I could find one or even better has anyone had experience with this densitometer? I will no doubt purchase a step wedge from Stauffer Industries, but I am unsure whether or not that will suffice in properly calibrating my densitometer. I have been told that it is important to follow the manufacturers procedure when calibrating, but without being able to find a manual I am a bit stuck.

Re: Melico Densitometer
Doing a Google search doesn't make your search look very hopeful does it? People have been asking before on other forums, and nobody has come up with a source for instructions. Have you tried sending a message to the people who asked the same question on Aplug and the US LF sites (a few years ago) to see if they figured it out?Matthew Rolfe wrote:Has anyone used a Melico Photolog Densitometer TDI?

Also maybe the third poster down on this link might be able to help http://photo.net/film-and-processing-forum/00E94k
I presume it's not one of these manuals is it? http://www.ephotozine.com/equipment/man ... quipment/7
Also try Old Timer and Amateur Photographer archive of manuals for sale.
Finally it's not the same thing as item NEX052 on here is it (for sale with instructions for £9 http://www.the-camera-house.co.uk/7.stm)

Re: Melico Densitometer
Thanks,
No, google has failed me!
. I have seen the links you placed below, I cannot find the model I own, perhaps it is a much older model that has been renamed over the years? Either way I cannot even find information on the company, if I could get that information then I could make some head way.
I may ask others who have experienced a similar problem , like you suggest.
