Hey guys, I am looking to acquire two JOBO 1502 reels.

These are the reels that take 110 / 16mm / APS film

If possible I would like at least two, but also for one if I have to, I have regular 35mm reels to trade for, or I am willing to pay some money, but the brand-new ones that are sold on eBay are just way too much money for me.

Hoping someone has some they don't need?

I also have a print drum I could trade?

They fit in JOBO 1500 series tanks.

I believe there is an older model that fit in the very old 1000 series tanks, i'm not positive but I believe these will also fit in the newer tanks so I'm willing to take a risk on trading for those as well, the only difference is that the newer ones are white and the older ones are clear plastic as far as I can tell.

Thanks!

Bump! Still would like to trade, anyone have a spare or two? I'll offer 2 to 1 on a reel trade.

I also have a few hand process tanks that take 110, I have switched to rotary so I won't need the hand tanks once I get the reels. Thanks!

yes - the older reels (transperant plastic) fit the new tanks.

I have one old reel (I use) for 110 film.....

I did have the plans for converting a Patterson 35mm reel down to a 110 reel, but have lost them. You cut the reel with the larger centre to the correct width, and then use the bit you cut off as a locking collar to hold the reels together. I'm sure you could do the same thing to a Jobo reel as they are built the same way...

Thanks, I've tried rigging stuff, always ends up causing problems.

I just am amazed at how expensive they are new, and that no one has any used for less, I'm even offering a whole 1500 type tank with 4 reels for just 2 and no one seems to want to trade. It's crazy lol.

just put them between a couple of standard reels - that's what I do when using these reels

Congrats on your find!

Oh that's an excellent idea! Thanks!

Still would like to find 1 more. Especially a newer version.

But thanks, yes I'm really psyched to be able to start developing the fun film again.

Does the 16mm reel exist in the new, white version?
