Sold Nikor 12-sheet 4x5 film developing tank - complete

[Steve Goldstein]

For sale is a complete Nikor sheet film developing tank in excellent condition. This can hold 12 sheets and is adjustable for various sheet-film sizes up to 4x5. Includes cap, all top-plate screws, and the retaining band. There's a Dymo label on the tank (see pictures) and the bottom of the reel is engraved "WSP", presumably a previous owner. I'm not really sure why I bought this as I've always developed in trays and tubes (for EMA). Asking $115 via PayPal goods and services shipped in the US.

These are cool tanks. I can't remember but I think they use around 1 liter of solution. I would need my IR goggles to reliably load, but they work. The craftsmanship is amazing. All 316 stainless!

They need closer to 1.5 liters for 4x5 IIRC, which is one reason I switched over to Unidrums (250ml for 4 4x5 sheets). But then I'm a Caffenol guy, so most of my developing is 1-shot (2-shot maximum). If you're using 'regular' chemistry and reuse and replenish developer till the cows come home, that volume is not a big deal. And I still have mine, for 2x3! GLWTS
