Here is my tank: http://www.jobo-usa.com/products/3000.htm
not all jobo tanks are for film- some are designed for paper. That web site should help you differentiate. I have a plastic device used to pour oil into a car (kind of like a funnel) that sticks in the end, and lets me pour chemical in while it's turning. Then, I just dump one chemical out in the sink, and pour another in. It is really simple with this tank. I think my motor spins the tank about 40 revolutions a minute or so, or at least that is probably a good guess. The motor base I use is an old one made by beseler and pictured on this page: http://www.beseler-photo.com/Product_Catalog/k2.pdf Hope that helps, Jeff On Wednesday 05 December 2001 06:24 pm, you wrote: > Hey Jeff, > > I see some drums on ebay.
