You might be able to use a Unicolor Uniroller.
I use that with the 2500 JOBO tanks

I think this is Cal's new JOBO tank. This is the early version of the 3013.

With the ribs, not the tubes inside the tank.

Hey Cal,
Here is how I develop my B&W film, 35mm to 8x10. Unicolor Uniroller set inside a plastic dishwashing pan, with a couple of Patterson 5x7 trays to catch any spillage. I just tried this with the Kinderman, balancing half of it with my hand, because the single 70mm tank isn't long enough for the Uniroller. But it spins it just fine, so this will work for you with your new JOBO 3013. Truly lazy man's way to process (poor man's JOBO). Plug in a Gralab timer and walk away. That's how I do it. Especially great for really long development times.
I would stick with the Uniroller, because it is Uni-directional. Not the Beselar, Chromega, etc. They spin only one direction.

I just bought this cool JOBO lighttight supplemental tank from German Ebay. Looks like it will hold two 70mm reels. That is a JOBO 70mm reel in the tank, but I don't think it comes with that!

And today I finally got my money back from the Hasselblad 500 exposure back purchase and return. Hurray for Ebay!
Heads up! JOBO 70mm tank on Ebay Germany.

Thanks for posting this, got in touch with the seller and he made a discounted offer - Ive just been paid so this is on my way to me! next month I just need to buy the a70 itself and I am good to go!
Congrats Jake!
You have just bought something truly rare. The last one I saw on Ebay went for $550 US!!! You have done very well!
Catlabs (JOBO distributor) says just procure a regular rubber stopper, if you want to use it as an inversion tank. There are lots of A70s out there; We all know nobody uses film any more Especially 70mm
BTW I bought his 70mm JOBO lighttight tank; I think that is your JOBO 70mm reel in there.
How is this to use? Ive always wondered about how the mamiya Rangefinders are, must be one hell of a beast with the 70mm back

Jake,
I'm glad that this tank and reel was secured by someone in the family. LOL.
The JOBO lid requires a rubber stopper that can seal the 1 1/16 inch opening.
You might want to secure a light tight non-daylight tank like Dan's so you can dip the reel into the JOBO to avoid long pour times. To cover a 15 foot 70mm reel it is about 2 liters, so the pour times are mucho long.
The quick dip into developer I think is important, but then stop and fix in a daylight tank is pure convenience.
