I agree with Gregory. Bob Mitchell was a great guy with a fantastic
sense of humor. He has many photographic inventions to his credit. I
have bought and used several that were sold by Heathkit. Two that
seemed like great ideas - canoe and color analyzer, just did not sell
well. He was the first one to make jokes of these two. One of his last invention, Hocus Focus, a focusing aid is ingenious and quite good.

Bob Mitchell was a good guy, I had the chance to talk with him shortly after Omega Satter took over the Colorstar product line. He was really
helpful
to me despite his obvious dismay at Jobo having forgone the
productline.

Cross-posters are idiots whatever system they use. Much more
irritating than top-posters.
I attended one of Bob Mitchell's weekend color printing seminars. I sure learned a lot from him. I have the prototype for the Hocus-Focus. Said he had no production yet, but gave me his prototype. Also have a lot of the same darkroom equipment that he
had in his darkroom. I no longer have room in my house for a darkroom and would be interested in selling all of my equipment if anyone is interested. Henry Milner 706-517-4353
