I'm now the proud owner of Valoy, which I traded for a clunker of a 85/2 Jupiter-9 plus a 100 dollars at a local pawn shop. A little elbow grease, some WD-40 and 10 dollars worth of electrical parts was all that was needed to make the thing operational. No Focotar 50/4.5, but the baseboard is ok, and the neg carrier was included. My ultimate goal is to be able to process FB 11x14 prints in the smallest possible space. I originally wanted to be able to go as large as 16x20, but 11x14 will be just fine. Now - a Simple Rotary Processor Question: Is it possible to process FB B+W paper in a JOBO or similar ? I searched the archives, but I didn't come up with any definitive answer. Intuitively, there shouldn't be any reason why you can't, other than the fact that FB paper is much more delicate than RC paper, so, perhaps it doesn't sit properly in the drum. Any thoughts ? I'm not above tinkering around to find what works, but if I'm chasing a red herring, I'd like to know before I go buy a used drum, motor, ect.
