SS reel in Jobo processor

I know Jobo makes a version of the Hewes reel for their plastic

tanks. What I wuld like to know is, if the very same SS reels can

also be used with a Kindermann (or even a Nikor or other brand SS

tank).

This would give me ultimate flexibility using the Hewes reel with the

Kindermann or the Jobo.

I was going to say no, but thought I'd better try it first, and to my surprise the Hewes reels fit perfectly in my cheap Chinese steel tanks. These are the newer reels, models 1565 and 1566, that use plastic cores in Jobo tanks. The Jobo plastic reels don't fit, but the steel ones are smaller in diameter.

David,

Did you try the plastic cores from the Jobo tanks in the SS tanks or did you try the 1565/1566 reels with the ss cores, or no cores at all?

Thanks.

No cores, the tanks have regular light traps in the lids and don't use them.
