I keep finding Jobo processors locally. Yesterday I found a CPA2, latest model (3rd upgrade) really clean, pump is strong, but no lift. I do have a brand new lift that I just bought on ebay, too good of a deal to pass up.
I also have a CPA2 that I also found on Craigslist maybe a year and a half ago, no lift. Bought it really cheap. In both these cases, the owner died and they were being sold off by family members. RIP fellow film processors
Finally my main machine is a CPP2,2nd upgrade with lift. So I understand the differences between a CPP2 and CPA2, slighter tighter temp regulation on the CPP, water inlet, etc. On both the CPP and CPA 2 I end up putting a thermometer in the developer because on both units the dials never match the temperature, they are just starting points. I never use the water inlet.
My thought is to keep the newer CPA2 and put my new unused lift on it giving me a pretty lightly used package. However the CPP2 is the top of the line and it's mentally hard to "down grade". Am I missing something? Too anal? Anyone really care?
