JOBO makes a gadget like their electric processors, that uses arm energy to
turn the tank.....  the tanks themselves are about $50 with the reel,
new....Model # of the reel is 2509N and the tank is a 2523.  The reel is a
kind of spiral... holds up to 6 sheets of 4x5... I use 4 sheets to keep the
processing consistent, on the recommendation of JOBO  Using this method, you
do NOT have a thermal jacket... doe sit matter?  Maybe not.... developing
times for B+W are only a few to 20 minutes... not enough for things to
change too radiucally.... The tanks and reels use about 300ml of
solution..... be careful you do not exhaust the developer.. use enough
concentrate of whatever you use to make it work right....
