Photo Forum / Film Photography / Darkroom / June 2006Question about Jobo Processors and Expert Drums
I recently acquired a Jobo CPA-2 processor and a couple of their "regular" drums. However I'd like to use the processor with Jobo Expert drums. The obstacle to that is the roller-assembly toward the back of the lift -- it's too small to accomodate the larger-size drums. (This is the gizmo that the rear of the drum rides on as it turns. It's simply two wheels at the far end of the lift-assembly) My questions: Can you use Expert drums in a Jobo?. Where can I get the larger-size roller-assembly?

Depending the age of your CPA-2, you may need different rollers. Fixation to the lift is not done with the magnet on the bottom of the tank but with a kind of gear (called "cog") you fix on the top of the tank. Note, the lift for the CPA/CPP-2 are different from those of a CPE-2. If you buy one used, check you also have the gear on the processor side which couples the processor to the lift. Claudio Bonavolta http://www.bonavolta.ch Claudio, Thanks for that information. I have a lift with gears (cogs), but the rollers are too small. Thyis is what I'm seeking. Know where I can find the appropriate size rollers?

The rollers together with a small black part are clipsed on their base but you can clips them with the roller toward the inside (= for smaller diameter drums) or outside (= for larger diameter drums). Otherwise, you can find the spare parts numbers on this page: http://www.jobo.com/jobo_service/us_analog/instructions/instructions_manual_cpa- 2_cpp-2_12.htm Then, how easy to find them will depend on the country where you live ...

Stephen Stephen, Thanks for that tip. I never noticed how the roller assembly was constructed. That solves my problem for now.
