    Cheap Jobo Drums

    I don't know if this site is up to date or not but I just came across it. I have more drums than John Bonham so I'm not interested.

    This is a chop shop, in any case, it is unlikely that they have each and every SKU of the Jobo product offering between 1988 and 2004 in stock, including some items which were not offered to the public....

    As soon as I saw that they operate from Brooklyn, my neck hairs went up....and the ratings confirmed that. It started to have that 42nd St aroma...if you get my drift.

    This firm has been around for 50 years - literally - and their reputation has been the same since at least the mid-'70s, when I started learning my way around the camera market. It's amazing and depressing that they're still in business.

    Re: Cheap Jobo Drums

    Can't remember if it was my 3005 or 3010, but I bought and paid for one online through that website, next day I get a call....
    "Sorry, site needs to be updated, we just can't get you one at that price.... It"ll be $xx more." It was about market price so I went ahead with the transaction. Despite my fears, the tank actually arrived about 2 weeks later.
    So yeah, it is too good to be true., but, at least, I got the product.
    Real cameras are measured in inches...
    Not pixels.

    Hey they have some nice prices on sheet film too. Plus you can still get 25 and 50 sheet boxes of Kodak 8x10.

    Was this one of the stores that advertised along with b&h, adorama in the back of photo magazines and had lower prices than anyone else?
