Perfect fit for my JOBO tank
I was worried about compatibility, but this core fits perfectly into my existing JOBO reels. The plastic feels sturdy and handles the warm chemistry without warping.

Great value accessory
For the price, you can't beat this. It allows me to use my vintage JOBO tanks with modern films without any issues. Fast shipping too.

Works but tight fit
The core functions as expected, but it is a very tight fit on my older Paterson spiral. I have to push quite hard to get it to click in. Once in, it's fine.

Essential for double reel setups
Bought two of these to run double reels in my deep tank. They spin smoothly and lock in place securely. Highly recommended for serious developers.

Good replacement part
Lost my original core and needed a quick replacement. This works well with Paterson tanks too. Only giving 4 stars because the finish is slightly rougher than the OEM part.
Q: Does this come with the spiral wings or just the center core?
A: This item includes only the 8mm center core. The spiral wings must be purchased separately or reused from your existing reels.
Q: Can I use this for C-41 processing at 38 degrees Celsius?
A: Absolutely. The material is designed to be high-temperature resistant and safely withstands standard C-41 processing temperatures up to 40°C.
Q: How do I clean the core if it gets stained by developer?
A: Simply rinse with warm water after use. For stubborn stains, a mild soap solution and a soft brush will restore it without damaging the plastic.
Q: Will this core work with the JOBO 1500 series tanks?
A: Yes, this 8mm core is fully compatible with all JOBO 1500 series developing tanks and their corresponding reels.
Q: Is this compatible with 120 medium format film?
A: Yes, when paired with the appropriate spiral wings, this core supports both 35mm and 120 medium format film development.
