LUGgers-
Has anyone else had experience with the old Durst RCP-20 tabletop processor?
I used to have one, and retrofitted it for RA-4, then like an idiot, sold
it!
I was fortunate enough to pick one up last week (gawd! It's heavy!). It was
in like new condition, and without the retrofit, so it runs about two
minutes each in the developer, and blix (or in my plan, the fixer)
Since I am becoming a 35mm B&W person, I was hoping that someone in the
group who does now, or has in the past used the RCP-20 for B&W might decloak
and give me their opinions/thoughts and/or tips!
I was thinking that the liquid Ilford chemicals might be ideal for this
device.

The one I had a couple of years ago had a bad foam cover on the stopbath
roller, and Durst still was able to supply the parts, so I figured that the
modest investment I made last week might be very useful in the darkroom.

Thanks for any light you might shed on this! (Yeah- I know. I AM checking
the web, but I'd like to hear any first hand personal experiences any of you
might have! :o}~ )
