Does anyone use a Beseler motorized base and Patterson tanks to develop 120 film? Th base has a reversing motor drive. I used back in my Cibachrome days. How does it compare with using a JOBO? What are the development time adjustments? Same as JOBO?

Thanks
 
Good Morning, Photoe,

Memory tells me that my long-unused Paterson tank has a very slight taper and wouldn't track properly on a motor base.

Konical
 
I did check that. I found that putting a couple of heavy rubber bands around the tank but inside the width of the roller wheels kept it from"walking off" the base. The base also has a leveling capability which helps a lot too.
