JOBO processor, keep breaking the red washers
I'm at a bit of a loss as to work out what has gone on, but my ATL1000 has started breaking the red washers on the cogs of my 2500 series tanks. I've had this setup for a number of years without any problems, and all of a sudden i've had three washers snap.
Anyone any idea what i've done? I was wondering if i've got something trapped in the machine which is rubbing on the washers, or maybe they have a limited life and have just worn out. Any suggestions? |

I would look to fatigue as a likely candidate. I've had issues with plastic parts wearing out with my 14/15 year old Jobo ATL-2300.

I've given the slot the rings sit in within the machine a bit of a clean out, and there did appear to be a built up of muck in there. This may be increasing friction, hard to tell really!
I've got some more rings, i'll see how the new ones go... |

Quick update, the problem seems to have gone away - i'm now not sure whether it was just age on the existing rings or cleaning it, either way, back to happy film development!
