Jobo Drum Repair

Hi,

Last week, while rinsing my negatives with Jobo Expert 3005 drum, I lost the grip and the drum fell to the hard floor with all the water inside. You can imagine what happened. One of the tubes now leaks at the bottom. This is my second drum. I broke the first one the same way last year.

Anybody know where can I send for repair for these two broken Jobo drums?

Thanks.

I repaired a cracked tube by running some runny glue (pvc maybe) down the outside. Just pop the bottom lid off and go at it. I've run half a dozen times and so far no leaks.

I was a little freaked out to try it, but calmed down once I realized it wasn't so hard.

How do you pop the bottom off? Use a screw drive? Thanks.
