I use Paterson Super System 4 tanks for most (all?) of my roll processing (haven't shot 16mm in a while, and haven't found my homemade tank yet since setting up my darkroom). I started off with a 2-reel (2x35mm or 1x120, really) and recently bought a 3-reel size (holds 3x35mm or 2x120), new in box, which did not include any reels. Problem is, I only have two actual reels, so while I can now process four 120 rolls at a time (by loading two on each reel, one after the other), I can only handle two 35mm at a time.
On eBay, I can buy reels all day at $18-$25 shipped -- genuine Paterson, Universal, or Unicolor brand, all of which (as I understand it) are compatible. I'm interested in buying three reels (so I can load one set while the others dry, for those days when I have a lot of film to develop), any brand that will fit my tanks, reasonably clean and working (ratchet action and size adjustment a must), and willing to pay $40, net to seller, including shipping. Any takers?
