    I do have motor bases that both alternate directions and do one direction. Will that work?

    It will work, though you do want at least one full revolution in any direction, or just run one direction.
    You can fill with the tank upright, or if running a very short dev course, you can use a funnel if you want, but you will find its hard to show any density shift with or without doing that.

    Not sure what you're saying there...

    My continuous development is with Pyrocat-MC in a Jobo tank on a roller base for 4x5". I take it off the base to fill and empty. No problems so far, most development times are 8 to 12 minutes.

    For developing 5x7" film I am using the Jobo 3006 on a simple Simma-roller. Taking it off the motor base and filling/refilling it works without any problems. Development is very even.

    Cheers

    I've seen this item on Ebay a couple times: http://www.ebay.com/itm/B-W-KING-5X7...p2047675.l2557

    Maybe more will be available.

    I messaged them on eBay and they told me the tank would leak horizontally on a roller base.
