Well, I have bitten the bullet and picked up a Jobo CPA2 with lift 
and a couple of 3010 and one 3006 expert drums. It will be a real 
treat to experience the promised "random" movement of the chemicals, 
particularly with 5x7. The 3006 will probably be dedicated to 5x7 
work as I will not need the drum to dry that quickly between 
processing runs - 5x7 is used much less frequently than 4x5 here.

The drums are normally supplied with a sponge on a stick for drying. 
I was intending to place the drums in a Marrut cabinet drier after 
use for quick recycling, however  given the apparent construction it 
seems that a sponge stick may be a better drying method. Would be 
interested to hear from anyone who uses the drums.

So, I will now finally be able to be self sufficient for processing 
trannies as the temperature control on the CPA2 is reputably better 
than that of the CPE2.

Can't wait!

Cheers,
