https://www.ebay.com/itm/Kindermann-Stainless-Steel-Developing-Tank-with-One-120-Three-35mm-Film-Reels/293525974208?_trkparms=aid=1110001&algo=SPLICE.SIM&ao=1&asc=20131231084308&meid=4eb083b5e2814c6eb69bd612baba493c&pid=100010&rk=3&rkt=12&sd=312835135945&itm=293525974208&pmt=0&noa=1&pg=2047675&_trksid=p2047675.c100010.m2109
Not Kindermann I'm affraid!
You are correct, I wasn't paying attention to the markings, however my looks way different, purchased new some 10 years ago. Unlike the one from the ebay mine is welded together, quite thick walls, the reels are different as well.It is stamped Kindermann on the base and the lid has Kindermann markings so I assume it is kindermann. Same marking that I have on my Kindermann tank that I have had for over thirty years. That would be a lot of work to mark up a steel tank in order to make a $20 sale. FYI this is not my add but thought I would be a good Photrio member and alert another member who is looking for a tank.
You are correct . As Punkzter noted the reels are not Kindermann. Kindermann reels have a black tab to insert the film leader.You are correct, I wasn't paying attention to the markings, however my looks way different, purchased new some 10 years ago.

One question, this particular auction doesn't have the lift rod. For a tank of this size (4x 35mm reels), how beneficial is the lift rod? Should I seek that out?
FWIW, when I used to use tanks for 3 or 4 steel reels, I used to really appreciate having the lifting rod. Some of that may be due to the fact that I do most of my film handling with my fully dexterous left hand, as my right hand is more limited.I have the two reel tank so I am not familiar with a lift rod. I assume with a 4 reel it makes it convenient to not make contact with the chemistry. Other than that I cannot see it as a necessity.
