I have found and have scanned the original instructions for the Nikor 4x5 sheet film development tank. The file size exceeds the limits for this thread, so if the moderators can arrange it, I would be happy to post somewhere on the home page.

Bill, that's good advice.
I've had a couple of these and have tried them and can sort of get them to work okay, but they are too tricky for my advanced state of decrepitude. Some folks like them though.

I never could get an 8x10 negative to fit in one.

Simply cut the negative into quarters.

I have one and have been getting good results with it. Once in a while I get a mark on the film from it touching the reel. But otherwise I like it just fine. I would not mind seeing the instructions for it.

Thanks
Michael
