Thanks, Todd — I’d love to see a picture. You can send it to me off-list if 
you’d like: c...@buffalo.edu… Am I understanding you correctly — on your 
set-up, there’s no lid for the three tanks?

Subject:  Re: [Frameworks] help identifying this film tank

 

There was a loader for these, a rather substantial device to hold the weight of 
the reel while winding the film on. I can take a photo of mine if you want to 
see how it works. 

 

I have the reel, loader and three nesting tanks. Not daylight tanks, just dip 
and dunk in a darkroom. I've never seen that lid part, but I suspect the tube 
is for an agitation crank.

What I forgot to mention also was that the circle with the Nikor brand is 
raised slightly off the surface — for drainage? I’ll definitely try loading 
some film. But I kinda would think there must be some other loading device 
because it’s really pretty heavy and unwieldy. Thanks for your insights, Scott 
and Jeff!
