The best way to know would be to email Jobo.  For years, I've used the 
Jobo (rebadged Hewes) SS reels in a CPP-2. You need to have a special 
stainless steel "core" for each tank. What I'm not sure about is whether 
Jobo had Hewes modify their reels for use on the cores. If you can't 
find out, let me know and I'll take digital pictures of my reels and the 
core, and you can compare them to what you have.
