I use a Simma roller in combination with a 3010 JOBO Expert Drum ( http://store.khbphotografix.com/Simm...ing-Drums.html )
Works very nice, no temperature control though, and filling and draining by hand..;-)..
good luck,

I often load 4-4-UP, 4X5 hangers
So 16 at a time on Gas Burst
I have enough 4 up hangers to triple that to 48 by lifting racks in my bigger tanks

Ok...bought a Jobo and expert drums. Thinking about converting my time and temps from unicolor drums to jobo 3005 3010. Any thoughts on ways to test dev times on my new setup? I've lost my old spark to excessively test thing like this and really want to just cut to the chase. I'm a realist though and understand there may be no shortcuts.
Here is what I used to do in unicolor drums on a unicolor auto roller base.
Delta 100 4x5 - Xtol at 72F
N+2, 1:1 dilution, 14m 15s
N+1, 1:1 dilution, 11m 45s
N, 1:1 dilution, 10m
N-1, 1:1 dilution, 8m 15s
N-2, 1:2 dilution, 11m
N-3, 1:2 dilution, 8m 15s

For what it is worth, I went with a Jobo CPP and two Expert Drums.
I shoot 5x4 so I can get 20 sheets processed in a day, then allow the drums to dry out for a few hours and reload them for film developing the next morning.
If you want to process more sheets in a single day - buy more drums.
Processing film with a Jobo is very relaxing - so you could do a good few drums in a single day - it depends on how hard and how long you want to develop film each day.
Expert Drums produce lovely even development on your negatives.
The only thing you have to ensure is that the drum and lit are completely dry before you load the next batch of film.
If you go down this route - make sure your CPP has the lift arm - it makes things so much easier.
Good luck
