LAB-BOX ... who is using one and are they worth the money?

[agentlossing]

I bought the Lab-box last year when I temporarily lost the use of my darkroom. Bought an extra reel for 120. Worked ok but once I got a darkroom going again I’ve gone back to my SS reels and tank. The only negative for me was I could only do one roll of 35mm and one roll of 120 per day. I’m not even sure what closet it in.

Actually, a blow dryer is a good way to cycle the Lab-Box back to ready status. You just need to let it return to room temperature, so the plastic isn't heated, which would obviously change the temp of your chemistry.

I admit I like using mine a lot more after I built a motor agitator with a piece of bent metal and a handful of hobby robotics parts:

Really nice adaptation! I just ordered a motor and timer to diy build something similar.

Bet Lego Technic would work well to build a motor for one ... Hmm...
