Roger..that is something I should keep in mind. Thanks for that tip.

Avi

An auction just ended for a jobo 3006 for $350 shipped. But I decided to save the money. I picked up 3 unicolor drums and 1 Chromega for 10 times less. I can always upgrade to the jobo in the future....

Greg...you are right.

But I am looking for ballpark estimates from all you guys so that I can at least ensure that I don't overpay even though I might have to pay quite a bit.

Avi

Any estimates of how much a Jobo 3006 or a 3010 (I prefer the former) is expected to cost?

Fleabay prices are untouchable as they usually tend to be.

Thanks.

Avi

Jerold,

It definitely is the cheapest option.......in fact I am going to build one from acrylic sheets over the week...

I have 8x10 trays, so I am going to start with something I can fit...

Jerold,

The sloshers look nice...in fact I can easily build one myself. But I would like a daylight system.

Avi

Yes...that is an option too....but I managed to track down 2 of 3 parts required for the roller processing (I have an offer for the Unidrum and the 2551 Jobo tank and still looking for the 2509N...

Lenny,

How i wish I could do that. But photography does not pay me (neither do I want it to), so I need to watch my finances. But yes.....I do have that contagious disease that we all seem to!...

So, Jerold.....regarding the combo of the 2509N and the 2551 on a Unicolor motor base...

Does the 2509N freely spin inside the drum when the latter is spinning or is it fixed? And the other...

Thanks Roger....

So, I am trying to do some cost optimization here. I wonder if a jobo 4x5 reel would fit inside a unicolor drum, so that I can use the latter in lieu of the way more expensive...

Roger, thanks....I checked on other threads and it appears that the 2551 is the smallest you can go with the uniroller.

Btw.....can I use the same technique (jobo+motor base method) for both color...

Roger...so the 2551 is long enough to run on the Beseler/Unicolor drum?

Yes...the Atlanta folks should definitely meet. I have another friend who is currently away in Germany, who is also a photo...

thanks jerold...

Put in a WTB for the 2553.....no responses yet...will wait and see...

so is the unicolor drum a complete no no?

Avi

So, the smallest drum I would need to run it on a Unicolor/Besler base would be the 2553?

Is it ok to run it with just 1 2509 reel? And how much chemistry would I need?

Avi

Ari,

So what is the difference between the 2551 drum and the 2509N drum? Looks like the 2551 is no longer sold.....a kind member of the LF forum offered me the Uniroller, so I am thinking...

Thanks folks.....I read about the issues with films overlapping in Unidrums.....so the best solution might be to get a Uniroller/Beseler base and use maybe a Jobo 2509N drum?

What is a good price...

Thanks a lot folks. Looks like I will be putting up a WTB on the forum.

Have either of you tried the Unicolor or Beseler roll drums instead of the Jobo...the Jobo looks nice and pretty but is...

Hello All,

I finally ready to move on from my pathetic dip and dunk setup. I was using Silicon wafer boats (sorry I am a microelectronics geek) to load the films, but they are frustratingly...
