Adorama used to sell one. But can't find it on their site. I am going to shoot over 100 rolls of 120 AND 35mm slide film this summer and getting the old Jobo back to running. The one thing I hated was I didn't have anything to keep bulk chemicals at temp so I could just keep running the machine all day long.

Any ideas on who might sell them. I know this is going by the wayside but I am not giving up on my slides. Anyone even seen them listed used somewhere? I know you can get labotory models for big $$$ but there has to be a way to do it for a couple hundred. I think the Adorama sold for like $120?

Any ideas would be appreciated.

What temp are you trying to keep and what Volume?

3 1 gal jugs @ 85 degrees or something like that?

E-6 for slides. I use the 6 step and like to keep the mix already tempered. I tried a fish tank in the past and worked ok (setting the jugs in it). But still had a problem with temp. Tried a big fish tank heater. And made it so I could turn the dial past. That just about worked. But now a days I have only seen preset water heaters. So cant even try that.
