Hi !
Keep in mind that the stainless steel reels are heavier than the plastic ones.
Keep in mind that the CPE2 motor can't move above 500 CC chemistry in a "plain
Jobo tank and reel". So the extra wheight will reduce the number of
films/chemistry you will be able to process in one batch.
Keep in mind that the axe of the stainless steel reels are, if you're unlucky,
different in diameter than the Jobo plastic ones. And that the axe and funnel
provide lightproofing to the tank...
On the analog part of the Jobo Usa web site, there where once a page pertaining
to SS reels, but I do not know if it's still here.
Maybe the Jobo came with it's share of tanks and reels ? You may find some
second hand on that famous auction site the planet seems to love so much ;-)
Hope this helps
