Never was my intention to start collecting FR Corporation items, but when I stumbled upon the vintage old metal display rack, I had to do it. You don't see much of their stuff around any longer. Good luck with the sale!

I wonder for what 'FR' stands.
Till now no interest, I think that in Europe FR isn't known.
But this tank is multi format, able to carry, amongst others, the so European metric 9x12 cm and 6x9 cm formats, and is of unbreakable plastic!

BUMP!

Just a quick pitch for the FR tank. I used one for years as my main 4x5 developing tank. I did only about 25 - 50 sheets per year at that time. I had no problems at all using slosh (side-to-side) agitation with up to 6 sheets per batch, leaving a space between each sheet and not using slot 1 or 12. I found it easy to load, etc. I now have switched to a Patterson tank with MOD 54 holder, but I find the FR tank makes a perfect and very economical (from water standpoint) film washer. Also works well if you have to use intensifier or reducer. In short, if you do 4x5, 6x9, 9x12 or similar sheet film sizes, this is a great tank to have around the darkroom!

I just checked, a 6,5x9 cm plate will fit too...
