JOBO AUTOLAB ATL-2 info

Can someone point me to info on the JOBO AUTOLAB ATL-2? Can't find anything
on http://www.jobousadarkroom.com/products.htm#Rotary. Is it the predecessor
of the ATL-2000? Does it take the same tanks?

It is not our patriotic duty to send children to be butchered & slaughtered
& to butcher & slaughter others every time a general or a politician gets a
hardon for a war. Rather, it is our patriotic duty to demand the highest
burden of proof to justify war. It is also our patriotic duty to hold
treasonous, corporate whore, war criminals accountable for their actions.

Depends. There's an ATL-2 and an ATL-2+.

The ATL-2 non-plus is a slightly improved version of the ATL-1, their
very first automatic processor. Not to be recommended. Over the years,
the electronics have become quite capricious, the and they don't have
spares for them anymore. I've had an ATL-1 which is mostly identical.
Luckily, I happened to be in the lab the day it decided to have some fun
and flood the place. A subsequent inspection revealed that, on the
inside, the chemicals where leaking all over the electrical parts. I'm
glad it never set the house on fire.

The ATL-2+ is indeed the predecessor of the ATL-2000. An altogether
different animal that's still a great machine with full Jobo suppport.
It takes the same tanks as the 2000. I have one, so if there's anything
specific you need to know just ask.

If you're looking for pictures a search on ebay will usually produce a
few hits.
