Right on, brother!  I currently use NOTHING but Hewes reels and Kindermann
tanks but I have an old Yankee tank which was souped with Photo-Flo from
'61 to '88 with regularity. I have used it within the past year (127 film,
and I DO have a metal 127 reel, but I had two to do at the same time!),
and, lo!, nary a worry.

I suspect this is Jobo sales-stuff.
