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.
Cheers,
Rich Lahrson
