my unicolor drum's "piston" leaks, any remedy?

hi

i recently bought unicolor drums - both a one for doing large negatives and the

smaller "adjustable" drum to process 35mm & 120 film. i just put my first rolls through

the 120 / 35mm drum and realized a ton of was leaking out of where the "piston" is.

the gasket was fine and i know how to deal with a leak there, but how do i fix the leaky

piston?

any ideas?

( aside from getting a new drum that is :) )

thanks in advance!

Hi John,

I looked around and tried to find an o-ring to replace the piston gasket with. I think that is probably the closest thing you will find.

I happened to find a 'new' old drum in the box in the used dept. of B&H for $20, so I gave up looking... :)
