JOBO manual / instructions?

[walter23]

Any idea where I can find this? I've got a jobo cpp2 with lift that I'd like to figure out. It came free with a darkroom under the expectation that it was "broken", but having plugged it in, the rotation works, the pump makes noise (I turned it off after a split second as it was dry), there's a digital display that shows temperature, etc. Perhaps it's usable - if only I could figure out how.

Close the drain valve on the bottom left of the processor as you face the tank. Fill the tank with water, set your temperature, and let us know what happens after you turn on the pump to recirculate the water. Does the temperature hold where you set it? Do you have any tanks with a cog to mount on the lift? If so, mount one of the tanks and let us know if the speed control works, and if the tank reverses direction. The link to the instruction is a good place to start, and I'm sure we can help with the basics. Let's first be certain that the most obvious features are in tact.

You might want to put it in the bathtub while you figure out what "broken' may or may not mean. Even a hairline crack can let out a lot of water.

Amen to that Tim!!! I simply assumed that the tank was intact....

Alright, so far, everything seems to work. I have the cog-style tanks that mount onto the lift, I can move chemistry in and out of the drum using the lift's simple chemistry draining mechanism, the heater seems to work, water circulates into the drum area (and fills up to around the level of the retaining rollers), and when it tries to cool it makes a churning noise. Unfortunately after running it for about 15 minutes this way I finally learned that the cooling device isn't an element or something, but rather a pump that pulls cold water in through a cold water intake on the back (which I had just assumed was a simple way to hook it into your water supply for filling the tempering bath). I hope I didn't ruin the cold water pump by doing this. Otherwise everything is operational as far as I can tell.

This is very exciting. I'll have to mailorder some chemistry and try some home E6. Any suggestions?

If you lan to test only, Tetenal 3 bath in small package (if still available).
If you plan to be serious, Kodak Single Use E6 chemistry kit.
You'll be amazed.

Have never done color processing with the CPP2...Georges seems to have a good handle on things...let us know how you make out, and good luck.
