I got a Beseler 8x10 processing drum with a bunch of dark room equipment. It came with the motorized roller unit.

Any experience with this kind of drum?

Both end come off the drum and one lid has a half moon shaped protrusion the length of the drum about 1/2 in from the drum side.

I'd be interested in any experience with this kind of drum, if it works well, and any tips on how to properly load it.
