Drum Processing

from Jeff (pctech@tir.com)
You have been so helpful in the past, perhaps you can offer me some guidance on this topic.

Where might I find additional information on drum processing times. I have read the FAQ #9 and it offers some insight to my questions, but I would like to learn more.

When I took the advice you offered in the past, and began to seek out garage sales and classified ads for used equipment I hit on several really great deals. (Got all of the necessary basic darkroom equipment for under $100.00!) There was a lot of stuff like new, some still in boxes. With this stuff I aquired a unicolor drum roller base (no Drum),like new, in a box. I do not do color, but was wondering if I could use this with a film developing tank for constant agitation developing of my black and white negatives (the motor works great and the base wheels have no wear), and if so would one of the jobo drums be the best to use? And are there any tables published that anyone knows about to help with the developing times using this method.

At this point, I have been using Arista D400 film, and the results have been very good, using Arista of Kodak Chemistry.

Thanks Jeff Riehl

P.S. - Again, I would like to take the opprotunity to thank those in this newsgroup who have offered their advice and guidance and experiences. No only have you saved me money on the inital setup of my darkroom, but have made my re-entry into black and white photography and film development fantastic!! Keep up the great advice.
