Hi!

I'm new here, and hope that some one can help me with some information on the Jobo ALT3.

I have the CPE-2 with lift now, I have used the CPP before.

The reason that I ask is that I have got a opening on buying a ALT3 to a low price, but I don't know anything about it..
-I'm just a amateur, and shooting about 10-30 rolls of 120 film pr month.
So this machine may be a bit over the top for me, but since I'm planning to build a new darkroom, a big one, I was thinking on the of the ALT3 since I can get it cheep. But if it's to expensive to use for me since I don't do mutch prossesing I'll pas the offering and use my god old CPE-2

I had JOBO questions not too long ago and the ALT3 came highly recommended. (if you buy it let me know if you want to sell the CPE w/lift :smile:)

I have the ATL 2000 and it is very nice to use compared to the manual Jobos. The ATL3 is getting kind of old however, so factor parts availability into the price. I was assured most parts were available for my 2000, but now that Jobo USA has been closed I don't know if that is still true. I think the rep mentioned that the older models didn't have replacement parts available. Still, if it is in good shape it may go on for many years with your limited usage.

Good morning, and thank you for the answers!

I'll have to buy this one I guess, It's in good working order and since I really have to pay less for this on than I did for my used CPE I'll guess that I cant go that wrong..

If some one have any more information, manuals, or any thing else pleas let me know.. I buying "blind" on this one..
