For those of you who don't want to click, listed above is a Kodak Rapid Colour Processor - H11 11x14.

Does anyone know anything about these? This one has gone around a few times without a sale.....

Rapid color processor


That looks a great deal like the processor we used back in the late 60’s and 70’s for processing Kodak’s Tri Mask. A color film designed to mask graphic arts separation negatives instead of several silver masks ( it didn’t work out very well) But basically in total darkness the film ,and I suppose paper, was mounted on the outside of the drum the film rotated through the processing solutions again in total darkness. I don’t remember how we changed solutions though. In the end working in trays was easier!

This was noted here on APUG a while back. It will only do 8x10s and requires special chemistry which is no longer manufactured. I would not advise using this unit. It was good back in its day, but is quite limited by today's standards.

Thanks for the info! Now, off to the darkroom to practice with a blank sheet and some trays full of water!
