The Ilford "auto" print washer is one of several that I own. It was a strange
design, which works well enough if you are willing to dump and refill the tank
a few times during the wash. That's easy, of course, because you can just lift
the prints-holder out of the tank. The advertised price in the link is too
high for what it is and how it is constructed. The tank is hard, breakable
plastic.
You can make a print washer from plexiglass. The "cascade" design can be
constructed using nothing more than a table saw, two sizes of plexiglass (one
for the tank, one for the dividers), thin plexiglass "rod" (attached vertically
every few inches on the divider sides to keep prints from glomming onto the
sides), and two kinds of plexiglass "cement" (liquid for low stress things like
the vertical rods and thicker epoxy-consistency for the tank). Oh. You need a
bit of plastic plumbing pipe with hole in it for water-input, plus the usual
assortment of tubes and water supply attachments.
