No idea at all how old it was. I mean, a) I was a kid, and b) it was the first darkroom
I'd ever seen so I had no basis of comparison. I'm sure it was at least one and
maybe more generations of hand-me-down by the time I got to use it. But, I mean,
"good enough for middle school kids, and we got it for free" was probably good
enough, right?

Hmm. Any idea how old the equipment is? I suppose you wouldn't
expect people to replace existing, functional equipment without good
reason.

When I learned film photography in the mid 1980s the darkroom had
red lights. Of course it was a very old darkroom in a middle school,
so I'm sure that _adequate_ darkrooms had better equipment. Except that we didn't use red light in our
darkrooms at all, at least
not from the 1970s and on. ...
Correct. I started darkroom work in 1964, and from the beginning we
used amber safelights. I don't think red safelights have been used
since long before that.
