For Sale FS Unicolor Film Drums for Tube Development - 5x7, 4x5, 120, and 35mm Sizes

[dachyagel]

I've got a number of Unicolor drums that I don't have room for, so they need to go.

Two of these are the standard 4x5 / 5x7 drums -- $25 each, or $45 for both. I can also include an extra gasket (have to look for them, but I'm pretty sure I have some somewhere).

A medium format Unicolor drum with removable "stopper" with working plug and gasket; you can do 3 medium format reels in this or 5 35mm reels -- asking $30 for this one.

Small 35mm / 120 tank with removable lid and good gasket; comes with 2 35mm plastic reels (max capacity) -- $15.

PayPal plus shipping -- the more you buy, the cheaper the shipping, of course.

Yes, these are daylight developing tubes -- each one has a light trap.

If anyone is interested in the lot of them, I'd be happy to work something out -- it would be much easier for me to make one trip to UPS.

Okay, I keep getting questions about how to use these -- here are some answers -- please read this first before you send me a PM.

1. The Unidrum tubes have built in separators that keep the sheets in place (for 4x5 or 5x7). These separators allow you to do 2 sheets at a time, either size; to do 4 sheets of 4x5 in one tube, you need to adapt an eraser or a chip bag clip or something like that which will keep the bottom pair of sheets from overlapping with the top pair.

2. The film gets loaded in the tube in a darkroom -- I use my bathroom, which has no window. Once the lid is on, the tube can be removed from the darkroom. Daylight process in your favorite area, near a sink.

3. Yes, you CAN hand roll these tubes -- they are designed to be used either by hand or on a motorized agitator.

4. There are SEVERAL threads here and at LFF which discuss how to use tubes / drums for film development: do a search for Unidrum or Unicolor and you will come up with plenty.

Sorry, I don't have time to answer every single question regarding how to use these tubes -- but it isn't that hard, believe me. Just do a little research and you'll see what I mean (if you haven't done your own processing before or have always used trays).

Thanks --
