Default AP Film Reels - what do they fit

Somewhere but I can't find it now, there was some discussion about AP film reels. These ones...

http://www.firstcall-photographic.co...ping-tank-reel

does anyone know if they fit paterson or jobo tanks properly or are they loose on the centre column or not fit the centre column of either.

They certainly fit Patterson tank and centre column as I use them. Not sure about the jobo tanks.

how much space is there around the outer edge of the reel and the tank on the paterson tank with an AP reel.

The paterson reels are just a tad to wide to fit a jobo 1500 series tank.

The jobo center column is a tad narrower than the paterson center column so there wouldn't be a problem on that front by the look of it.
So if AP reel diameter is a bit smaller than paterson reel diameter then it should work in a jobo tank (I hope).

Just checked as I have all 3 Neither AP or Patterson reels fit into the 1500 tanks the AP and Patterson reels are both the same outer size but the bore of the Patterson reels is slightly smaller than the AP so are a tighter fit on the AP centre column. Hope this helps.
