Jobo Silverbase B&W Rotary Film Processor ~ Free Jobo Alpha Trial Chemstry!

As more and more enthusiasts young and old, are enjoying analogue photography so much it inspired JOBO to look into the future and also into their history book:

Once upon a time they used to have a product called ColorBase. An easy to use stand alone manual rotary processor and it was very popular.

It was this that le to the development of their new film processing machine.

Named SilverBase this is a small and handy rotary processing system that accepts the existing Tank Systems using the magnet drive, it is made to accept as many of your existing Jobo components as possible.

Designed for use with black and white chemistry suited to rotary processing such as Jobo’s own Alpha, a fantastic developer made to go with the Silverbase. Overall this processor is an ideal product for developing at home, for the user who demands more reliability with less effort for their work.

Supplied with 1520 Tank, and Magnet it will also accept the smaller tanks from the 2500 series again, using the roller extensions.

We brought one back from the Jobo 100th Anniversary bash in September 2023 for testing in our own darkroom, but Nik loves it so much I’m not allowed to sell that one!

It’s very well built, more or less hand made, we saw that. It’s rotation routine being several turns one way, then several turns back just like their other processors.

During it’s time here, Silverbase been a lifesaver on many an occasion, making light work of some of our film processing, especially films requiring a longer development time.
