I've had better luck with the Unicolor drums on Beseler bases than the
Beseler drums. The Unicolor 11x14 drum does a fine job on two sheets of
8x10 film at one time.

If you go with the Expert drum, make sure you get one of the later
Beseler motor bases, the ones with two switches (one on the top, one on
the front). The second switch turns on/off the reversing action. With
the Expert drum, you only want the drum to rotate one way - the base
reverses too often for the Expert drum's large diameter, resulting in
the possibility that some of the film will never make it to the bottom
of the drum, where the developer pools.

Is there anything wrong with the Beseler drums?
