This is a nice bit of darkroom kit. There were lots of different styles of auto-loading adjustable film developing reel/tank combos on the the market but I always preferred the action afforded by the Ansco/GAF models. Fast filling and draining this tank will deliver outstanding results. The reel features the transparent top half for the mysterious "reversal" process that in all my many years of darkroom work have never had the occasion to utilize. This is a little used example as it served only as the back-up/dry-reel for my workhorse GAF version (it is also for sale here and includes the thermometer - this ANSCO one unfortunately is missing it's thermometer/agitator.) If your darkroom does not have one of these setting on the shelf I bet you are a Patterson fan - oh well, ball bearings are nice too I suppose...

Handles 35mm (keep 'em short for best experience,) 127(good luck finding that!), 120-620 films.
