    hmmm I might be able to get my hands on some if you are interested, where are you located though? From what I remember they were heavy (either plastic or hard rubber) so shipping might be pretty heavy duty (no pun(s) intended ).

    Check out the nearest marine supply emporium. Someone told me the plastic cases used to cover and protect marine batteries can be used as developing tanks.

    Unless your mind is set on deep tanks why not investigate BTZS, Unicolor, Beseler or Jobo drum processing. Sure saves on the amount of chemicals required over deep tanks. Unicolor, Beseler drums and motorized bases can be purchased at low prices on ebay. There is an article on the LF homepage about using a Unicolor drum. Save some money on chemicals and buy more film.

    You may find it easier to get deep tanks without lids. Tanks with good lids are harder to find. Maybe you can fabricate your own.
