Homemade Jobo 3005??

[Spikon]

I´m about to construct a 3005 from a 3063. Description will follow.

Can we use any of the expert drums with other rotating bases? I picked up a Cibachrome base and I’ve been using with a paterson and Mod 54 but recall some use expert drums.

Yes you can, i've been using 3010 on an Uniroller. With an expert tank, you'll be fine even if the motor does not reverse.

easily. if I'm not rolling with my Jobo, I use a Simma roller base for 3006/3005 drums. I still flip them over if i remember so I get agitation in both directions, but don't think it's especially crucial, afaics. Just keep an eye on the drum as they will more likely than not, walk off the base and fall off. Also, while a reversing base is great, be mindful that it's cycle may not turn enough to give Expert drums a complete rotation.

The internal tubes are barrel-shaped and consist of two symmetrical pieces glued together. Here's what the guts of a 3004 drum look like:

That looks more like a truncated cone shape, not a barrel.....

It’s a barrel.

Sometimes you have to trust people who know and use a product.

Yes, they're barrel shaped.
Here's a pic of my 3005 with a piece of paper inserted flush into one of the slots. The spacing on the bottom is the same on the top.

That is the key to clarity! Thanks for that.
