Hi Jim!

     I had a small custom lab about 30 years ago.  I used a Calumet processor.

     The Calumet 16X20 basket line with nitrogen burst agitation and 3 1/2
gallon tanks all temp controlled is probable still working after 30+ years.
Parts are easy to fix or replace.  The big expense is the chemistry and
paper.  Calumet still makes these and they haven't changed much in decades.
