Were do I buy a Paterson Tank?

[Rhodes]

It may be a silly question, but were do I find/buy a paterson universal tank? Mainly inside the UE? My old tank is, well, old and I want to buy a new one! Didn't find any shops here in Portugal that sell it and amazon.com or .co.uk tell me that they can not ship the item to my adress (I do not know why).
Any help please?

I bet many members of this forum can mail them to you from their unused inventory.

In Holland, and other countries, there is a continuing big movement of film-based darkroom gear from "old" owners to new ones via second-hand shops and similar, so you could try looking in those places.

Alternatively, Fotoimpex in Germany (among many others) will ship most things within Europe. If you get really stuck I can find one locally and post it to you, they are pretty light after all.

Good luck 🙂

A local Camera Swap Meet or Ebay...sometimes you can find them in very good condition...

I've bought several used tanks as well as some other darkroom stuff to eBay UK and Germany sellers. Just ask them for the shipping costs before bidding. Usually they agree to ship abroad (ie Portugal). Just perform the search on the local Bay sites... and good luck!

In EU all film related gear, including tanks, films (almost any type), chemicals (almost any type), etc, etc should be bought from www.macodirect.de in Germany. Great selection, friendly service and very fast shipping. I never buy from anywhere else.

Thank you for the replys! One forum member contact me about a tank that he didn't use and I accept the offer! Also it's allways good to know more sites! And, I couldn't quitte understand the paterson site! 😉

On the shelf of your local armory between the Sherman tanks and the Abrams tanks.

Pablito,

I use German Jobo tanks, should they be found next to the Leopard tanks? LOL

I prefer Panzers, IV, tiger, king tiger, panthers etc... And I even prefer more U-boats that tanks so, I'm of to sink some ships😛

if you ever decide you want additional reels, freestylephoto.biz makes patterson-compatible 'arista premium' reels, which are easier to use due to larger plastic 'lips' on which you guide the film.

It is not the easiest site to navigate! In fact, I need to replace the bulb in my Paterson darkroom safelight and had to email them to see if they sell just the bulbs. They have the safelight listed for sale and--on a different page--they have the stock number for the bulb. There are a bunch of places here in the US that sell the safelight but none of those carry the actual bulb.
And it is not any of the standard US sizes. I hope to hear back from them in the next few days.
