Rob:
Thank you for the idea about rolling the drums. I use a Jobo for B&W and I have
wondered what I will do when the machine dies. Hand-rolling the drums is a good
idea. Buying a replacement won't be easy or cheap insomuch that Jobo no longer
makes the model I use.
In the time being, I'll simply count the number of rolls the Jobo does in 15
seconds and I'll know the rate to do it by hand should I have to.
I must admit that the Jobo makes developing film fun in addition to producing
consistent results. Once I dialed my development times in through trial and
error, I started to consistent to get great negatives.
Best--Doug
