Jobo CPP-2 Back in Production?

[Scott Squires]

I just talked to Jobo Customer Service in MD (410-374-3250) and asked about a brochure for the Jobo CPP-2. I found a nice CPP-2 a month ago and was trying to locate a brochure. She said Jobo had stopped all production of processors 6 months ago which we were aware of, but Jobo may have found that there is an increase in demand for their products.

Six weeks ago Jobo started producing the CPP-2 again. She said they just had 15 units delivered. No brochure, but good news!

Scott,

Great piece of information. I'm just getting back into large format, from digital only for 4-5 years, and this is very helpful. I'm calling tomorrow.

thanks,

Bill

That's great news. Now, if they would just manufacture those drum inserts so we could process 7x17 film in a 3063 drum.....

That's good news although I already hedged my bets by buying another new CPP-2 last year and mothballing it in case my current one croaks on me. At the very least it shows that Jobo has made the analysis and have decided that there's still some life in film.

I talked to customer service this morning about the Jobo processors.

She said that Jobo Germany had made the decision to start back production slowly of the Jobo processor and that they were starting with the CPP-2. She said that their company (Omega Satter) was the US distributor and that to purchase one you would have to talk to a Omega Satter dealer.

To find a dealer check the dealer locater on their website http://omegasatter.com

I haven't checked with my dealer yet but I will later today when I get a chance.
I forgot to ask her about drums, reals, etc., but I will when I talk to the dealer.

There are 12 in stock in the US and that will probably be it. Parts will be made available for repairs for the next 7 years.. Dealers will be Samy's, B&H, Calumet, Adorama, and maybe a couple of more.

Thanks for the information.

Well, to pass along possible rumors, I purchased a CPA2 new from Keeble & Schuchat Photography in Palo Alto last fall and the salesman there told me that Jobo was going to outsource production of the processors to a third party which would result in a price increase. Has anyone heard anything about the price of the new units??
