Re: Info On Jobo Drums
Thanks to everyone who replied to my request for information about
the Jobo drums. I have a few more questions. What is the difference
between the 3005 and the 3006? And are both models still available?
Finally, how does one pour in the developer? Can this be done with
the drum upright or does it need to be rotating to do?
