Unidrum for 35mm and 120 film development

[marios_nikitas1]

I am looking to find accessories that will enable me to develop 35mm

and 120 negative film using an 8x10 Unidrum for paper printing and a

Uniroller.

Any advise?

 

Regards

Unicolor made a cylinder for developing 35mm and 120 film using their Uniroller. If you can't find one, you could make one easily enough out of ABS pipe. In The Book of Pyro, Gordon Hutchings gives plans for his design using these materials.

Marios,

 

Ted (above) knows from where he speaks.

 

The Pattersen tank system (old and new styles) will also work fine on the Unicolor roller base. No problems - ever.

 

Just one word of advice. The Unicolor drum has lugs on both ends that keep it on the roller base. The Pattersen tank does not have the lugs.

So keep the base on a VERY LEVEL surface . . . .

Marios, Unicolor made an excellent film developing system, long since discontinued. It consisted of a tank with dedicated reels in 35mm, 120 and even 110. The tube had an adjustable piston affair that you could do anywhere from one the six rolls in the small tank(35mm) and up to 14 rolls in the large tank. I have used this system to develope thousands of rolls of both 35mm and 120/220(yes the medium format reels would handle 220 film) wilth great success. This system predated the Jobo system. The good news is that all of the system can be picked up on ebay for a fairly reasonable price. Check it out. Sorry for the late response, I was just looking for some info from the old posts.
