I haven't seen any Wing-Lynch processors for sale in ages - are they all in the scrap heaps or are people holding on to them?

As best as I remember, they were pretty good machines in the pre-digital days. Wouldn't they still be? Seems like one should be able to pick one up for a song and/or dance nowadays.

JOBO is still making theirs. Somebody is buying the semi-auto machines, why wouldn't they get an auto machine for next to nothing, assuming they can keep them running??

People couldn't give them away around here--I think most went to landfills. Jobo units have support and parts available, are smaller and lighter, better at handling sheet film, and don't need a nitrogen tank.

Me neither. I learned about Jobo processors on APUG. Just one of the many wallet sucking excuses that I learned about here.
