Hi,
I am about to buy a CPE2 processor with two 2800 series paper drums and I would also like to develop C-41 using this machine. To that end I purchased a 1530 tank but I’m not sure if I need to buy the 1500 series rollers and extension arms? The 2800 drums are very long compared to the 1500 film drums.

Can anyone advise on this?

Pull out the roller arms and turn them around so that they hold the tank level. Then move the roller arm location to hold the end of the tanks.

When I got my CPE2+ it came with the paper drum but didn't have extension arms, which are not necessary for 2500 or 2800 series tanks. The rollers clipped directly into the base.

I purchased extension arms directly from Jobo to hold the 1520 tank.

Thanks!
I emailed jobo and they are on back order but will be available eventually.
