Anyone have any experience with this archival washer? Bill Barber

The reason for this question was that I acquired one recently along with some other equipment and was interested in what others experience with these washers might have been. The are a little different from some others I've seen. The water feed at the top, as well as, at the bottom is fed by a plastic feed that is glued to the side or bottom. The dividers have a verticle slot approximately 3 inches long cut in the top on each divider that I assume is there to facilitate the flow of water. The bottom water feeds from underneath the print and the top feeds from both ends. The case is not clued at the edge where the end pieces and bottom meet, buy rather is molded or bent as one piece. Given that all the feed passages are glued to the exterior of the tank, it would appear there would plenty of opportunity for them to leak. I've just cleaned it and filled it with water and no leaks. When I Google the company name nothing comes up, which is a little unusual. Maybe I'll try Dogpile. The washer is for 11X14 prints. Bill Barber
