Anyone using a Rondinax daylight tank? how hard is it to load and use?

I've had two - one is new old stock still in the box, the other was given away. It's shame you don't live closer or I would have sent it to you.
I've used it a few times but not for over a year. If you buy one, you'll need to replace the rubber washer that keeps the turning handle tight - pop down to an ironmongers (or 'hardware store' I think you call them) and you'll get a replacement for pennies/cents.
It is handy, and it works, although you'll need a short roll or two to figure out the times for your film/dev combo.
They have a thermometer built-in, but this will also likely not work.
The bakelite they are made of is nice and hefty

The loadind is simple, the built in thermometer maybe don't work (but also can work; verify). The Rondinax 35 U (i own two of these tanks) use 200 cc of chemicals. The time developing is 15% less than the normal prescription.
