Jobo cpe 2 lift full#
Removing the glue from the plate and the motor housing (believe me, this was a very hard job) cracked some of the housing cover plastic, but I finally could access the screws.īecause they were all full of rust, I had to carve holes around them! Finally the screws come out! But the lift tub and the motor housing cover were in some bad shape… Bad decision because this plate works also as tub for stoping any chemicals flow from the lift into the motor housing… To access to the motor housing fixing screws (which they where all with rust) they opened holes in the lift base plate to access it. This was a definite job and blocks the motor housing opening. The mount of the lift over the motor housing was done with Araldite glue. The JOBO lift comes from the factory with no lift. Quite bad quality repairing was already done… so… repairing was highly advisable. With the lift disassembled, I found some particular situations. Then, move the lift to the left of the tank so the lift front screws get out the fixing holes.

With no information in the web available about how to open and assembly/disassembly a JOBO Lift (at least I couldn’t find it), opening it for the first time was kind a challenge, specially because some rusty screws of the motor housing and some bad glue spread around in the previous repair!įirst, unscrew the vertical inverted rear screw that fixes the upper lift housing to the lift base plate. Also lubricated the motor and gears to leave the JOBO almost as new and a lot less noisy. I disassembled all the JOBO CPE2 lift, motor housing, electronics and all moving parts and did a complete refurbishing of all the major components.

This is normal in equipments with more than 30 year and hundreds of hours of use! But after near 100 rolls, some chemicals spills start to appear due to the intensive use of the equipment, specially in the lift with moving parts subjected to wear. When I brought the CPE2, no problems in processing. The JOBO CPE2 is very strong equipment to resist to time… mine has almost 40 years, and if you take the proper care, it will last for many years more! Deep repair advised…ĭon’t be afraid to buy second-hand photographic equipment! Is just a matter to find the right repair info, decide if the equipment is repairable and if the costs are under control. After some very intensive use, chemical spills start to appear in my JOBO CPE2 water bath during development.
