1500 Tank System
Product Summary:
The motto of the 1500 series line of tanks is "price them so hobbyists can afford them, but make them provide lab-quality processing". (In case you're wondering, it wasn't easy.) 1500 series tanks are used for inversion (hand) processing and rotary processing on anything from a small CPE-2 Plus processor, all the way up to a full-blown ATL-2500.
Key Features
Crack resistant
They're made of flexible plastic -- it makes them crack resistant (we can't say crack "proof" because if you threw one against the wall hard enough on a cold Winter morning it might crack).
You CAN take it with you
Many, many people have come to appreciate the modularity of JOBO tanks and drums. Unlike other manufacturers, if you want to add more developing capacity, you have to buy a whole new tank (the most expensive part). With JOBO tanks, if you have a two-roll tank #1520 and you want to increase the capacity all you need to buy is an extension module #1530.
Also, if you ever want to move up to a rotary processor like the CPE-2 Plus, you'll be able to use the same tanks you used for hand processing.
Save money!
You save money in three ways: The 1500 series tanks use very little chemicals to process film, the 1500 series allow you to process two rolls 120 film per reel (not loaded back-to-back), and the third way you save money is if you move up to a rotary processor, you use a little over half the chemicals you use by hand processing.

MagnetItem No. 1504
Allows use of all tanks and drums on processors without a Jobo Lift (magnet drive). The magnet upgrades all inversion tanks to rotary tanks. All tanks and drums (except the 3000 system and Expert) have holding pins on the bottom to which the magnet is at-tached.
CogLid
Item No. 1503
With a separate 1503 cog lid, you can keep the original inversion lid that came with your tank instead of converting it with a 1505 cog. This allows you to use your tank for inversion with the original lid or as a rotary tank with the 1503 cog lid. Fits all 1500 series tanks.
Cog
Item No. 1505
For upgrading tanks and drums for operation with the JOBO Lift. The cog is pushed into the original lid of the tank/drum and can be used on all processors equipped with a JOBO Lift (except ATL
