Jobo CPA instruction manual

[zehner21]

Hi!
1) I have recently acquired a Jobo CPA. I'm looking for the manual, but I can only find the manual for the CPA-2 and CPP-2.
Does anyone have a copy of the manual?
Thanks!

2) Also, I've noticed that the drum rotates only in one direction. It seems that the white plastic "thing", behind the magnet, might have a broken tooth which is preventing the change in direction.
I can trigger the inversion by hand, however.
Do you suggest repairing or letting things the way they are?
Thanks

The reversing lever should have three fingers. In the "neutral" position I believe the center one should be horizontal.
If it's broken try Catlabs, they're a member here.

Another Jobo information source is http://www.darkroomdoctor.com/ Dave Smith and his wife are very nice and very helpful.

Jobo once had all manuals online but taken them all off.

I second Catlabs . Omer helped me with several different things . I had a problem with the reversing mechanism , sometimes it's as simple as getting the 3 finger foot back onto the square pin. For parts and repairs Catlabs has helped me keep my CPP 2 and my cute little Duolab going .
Best Regards Mike .

Thank you. But that is not the listing I was referring too.
Nevertheless your offer is very informative and covers most I was missing.

Congrats on the JOBO purchase. I don't know about the JOBO manuals but a tip is if you are going to do e6 processing, I would download CATLAB's alternative processes manual that gives you the processing times to use the JOBO. I found these times gave much better results than the processing times suggested in the manual of the chemicals I used. good luck.

The listing that Jobo had on their site before their insolvency. Your listing is only part of that.

In any case I find it very weird that a customer looking for support has to go to an (overseas) importer and does not get such from the manufacturer.

But the work you do is very appreciated.
