    Issue with Jobo Process operation - Lift arm

    Hi All

    I am processing a large volumne of 8x10 film using PMK (1000ml) each tank in an 8 x10 expert drum. The lift arm has come off on numerous occasions and is not
    strong enough to lift by itself, as you can see by the jpeg here the drum goes over 1/2 the lift arm and getting ones arm below to help assist the lift though working is
    not smooth.

    Does anyone here have a lift arm lifting solution to this problem, Catalos did at one time make a lift arm assist and today do not and do not have any used ones.

    I posted this on FB and got a lot of responses, Most say they do this all the time with no issue, either they are using minimum amount of liquid and the container is light, Maybe they have an lift arm from Jobo that is longer than mine , or they are part snake man/woman and have the thinnest arms in the world. I have the Jobo CPP3 and I have talked with Omer at Catlabs about this problem.

    I have processed since 1993 on Jobos , I owned two Alt 2300 and we have processed many thousands of runs of PMK. Now I own this CPP3 which I love but this arm lift situation is very flimsy.
    any suggestions would be helpful. ( other than you do it all the time with your hands and the arm) thanks in advance
