Home made film processor video

Oh wow. I could really really use a Filmomat. Kind of dig the music for that video too.

This guy isn't going to make these (for sale), is he? I have a price point for something like this and its not the same as the JOBO's I see locally.

And did anyone notice this thing is !self cleaning!?
 
He has his email on the video info, says to contact him for more info and a price. Im afraid to though........
 
I caved. Emailed him, not as crazy as I expected..
Hes working out some small details, should be ready to go in about a month, he will build them on order, takes about a month to complete. around 2000euros....
Not as crazy as I expected...
O dear.
 
2000 EUR is actually nothing in comparison to a recently introduced *******ized Jobo knock-off that goes by the same price.

So, are you in?

Very impressive, indeed. Is the method for agitation he uses (bubbling air through the tank) a good idea?
 
Me too Ray, I'm going to ask him about the agitation, see if he's ran into any issues. In terms of reliability, other than the pumps, I do t think there's any more to it. As long as they are good industrial pumps, I don't see it failing..
 
All large pro dip-and-dunk systems used nitrogen burst agitation - gas bubble agitation is excellent and very consistent. These systems needed to protect the replenished developer from oxidation, but for a system like this where the developer can be used one-shot, bubbling air through won't cause any more oxidation than manual agitation. It looks pretty good.

Yes, I don't think oxidation will be an issue for home users even though this arrangement would prevent me from using E-6 chemistry as one-shot. With rolling agitation (like Jobo) you can do 2 135 rolls with 250ml and then discard it.
