UPDATE and some questions
Back is the original poster :-)
so - in the mean time I used the Jobo 2521 tank with 2509n reel - either with 4 or 6 sheets - always fine. Recently I got the jobo manual roller base, but as the tank is rather short (as is my other jobo 1520) it dos not really fit well.
I have no problem to load the 2509n reel. Although I do have the loading "black plastic pieces" I did not manage to figure out how to use them. But even without them I have no problem to load the reel. At the same time I improved the temperature control (simply keeping the fluids in a water bath) and if I finally make a few test sheets I may after 3 years reach an acceptable level of consistency for the first time (oh well).
Now - while I like the results, to keep the drums rolling by hand is not very convenient as (contrary to inversion agitation) one has no time to prepare subsequent solutions etc.
So - I am thinking of getting SOME motor base and if necessary a different (longer, larger, probably the 2551 as the 30XX are pricey and complicated to open) drum, as it would be handy to be able to develop more than 6 sheets at a time. But the question is: WHICH motor base and WHERE to find it? (preferably in Europe)? I check the eBay here and then but did not get lucky yet.

The normal answer is the Uniroller 351 or the Beseler. But in Europe? No idea but if you find two send me one :D
You'll need the 2551/2561/2581 with the base Either that or look for the 2560 extension. The 2521 is too short for the base.
