HP Combi-Plan T now discontinued

**Bob Salomon** · 20-Apr-2012, 11:26

Today we sold the last few remaining HP Combi-Plan T processing tanks. Due to the extremely high cost to make new tools to continue manufacturing the system it has been decided that we will instead discontinue the Combi-Plan when the last systems were sold. And that happened this morning.

While we no longer have any of the Combi-Plans' left in stock some of our dealers do, both here in the USA as well as in other countries.

We do have a large inventory of spare parts for the Combi Plan and will continue to support users who need parts. Basically all of the parts for the system are available except for tank bodies which can no longer be made.

We are sorry to see the last of this system.

Makes me glad I just bought one on Monday!

Is there any other daylight 4x5 tank out there?

Look into a Yankee tank. Lots of people look down on them, but I have had great luck with them.

Not me. Good riddance! Never liked 'em.

Bummer. Really like mine. Easy to use and even development every time. I have an old one and new one. Bought the old one on Ebay and it came without the top film holder thing. I may try using the extra tank for a 2-bath Pyro expirement. That way I can take the film out of bath A and dunk it in bath B right away. Slam the cover on quick and shake it up.

The minor leaking has never bothered me. A few drops just isn't an issue for me.

The Film Holder Clips are available

I have one new in the box from 10 years ago. Lets make a deal.

A shame. I've got two and use them to develop a lot of film at once. A few drips isn't horrible, and the slow draining/fill hasn't produced any visible consequences. They hold their temperature well, don't use a ton of liquid, develop evenly.
