WTS: Deep bath film/paper processor

Post by michaelfinch » Thu Jan 12, 2012 3:47 pm Etc/GMT-1+01:00

I'm slowly but surely offloading kit that is surplus to requirements. I have a deep tank processor that can be used for both paper and film development. This model was latterly made by Fletchers but mine is a little earlier and was the original of its type.
It consists of a water bath approx 1ft in diameter and 20in tall with a built in heater and thermostat i.e small footprint. It has three tubes (one each for dev/stop/fix for film or dev/bleach/stab for C41/RA4). It will take prints up to 16x12 and about six or eight 35mm reels (Patterson type). It should therefore take the MOD54 sheet film holder/s (http://www.mod54.com).
Not sure of values but the slightly later Fletchers of similar spec are sometimes advertised at silly money (IMHO).
I'm looking for £50 and collect from Lancashire or could deliver locally.
If ever you do need to dev a batch of 35mm or 120 it's a joy to use.
Even RA4 can be pretty rapid. Expose all your prints/ put the first one in the dev and when you transfer to bath 2 put the next sheet in the dev etc etc. Or upload your file to a reliable printer!
I also have a Fletcher deep tank processor. Works in the same way but the three baths are in-line and it will take prints to 20x16. Also £50. I can send photos if interested. Both are in good working order and can be controlled from 20C to 40C.
