is there a handy dandy guide as to what each individual paterson developing tank will hold in film sheets? Or even what combinations can be done with JOBO tanks?

Been using an AP compact two reel tank to do 5x7 photo paper, and it is really really slow. And i dont have room to do trays
 
Jobo once had all these informations on tables on their website. All gone after their restructuring.

But you can download meanwhile a catalog from their site with information on tank capacities. Or you have to get an archived old catalog with tables.
 
Ive tried contacting paterson people, after 9 days NADA. Jobo just says to buy that spectacularly expensive 500 dollar drum.

What do you want to process? If you are printing, Paterson is not designed for prints. Try going to jobousa.com Catlabs maintains a lot of old data. The 2800 series tubes aren't even made anymore that I know of, lot available used. A Jobo 2830 print drum will hold 1 11x14, 2 8x10s multiple 5x7s etc.

Omer at Catlabs in Boston area should have used or new print tanks.

Another option is a single rocking print tray Nikor or Heath Color Canoe all used on Ebay etc.
 
All roads lead to ebay, and thats not an enjoyable thing.

All the print drums and modules arent made now.
 
Well, I do not buy at Ebay, but still got some stuff. But it is a time consuming way.

Hello my colleague .
If you or one of your friends have a 3D printer, you can print this tank at a low cost.
I have that design file, already I tried to attach it but the file format was not accepted.
Send me an email and I will send this file to you.
