![]() Well, I might still end up with a CPE2 with a lift, that is if I can find one for not too much money. I have looked on eBay but no luck so far. If you're interested in a CPE2, be sure to make sure it's one of the later models if you plan on adding a lift at a later point. ![]() I made the mistake of obtaining a nearly new CPE2 - but it was an early model with a different spindle. The lift kit for the CPE2 doesn't include the parts for the early model CPE2 (although it indicates that you might need an additional part - and gives the part number - but it was no longer available.) My later model lift didn't fit - and OmegaSatter was unable to provide me with the part. This has a better motor, a better reversal mechanism, a better thermostat, and can readily be adapted to a lift at a later time. ![]() Now I have a CPE2 (without lift) and a CPE2+ with lift. I used the CPE2 for a while and didn't mind working without the lift. You're right about needing the normal lids, though - and then attaching a magnet at the bottom of the tank (as opposed to the lift-required cog at the top of the tank). I've just recently started processing C-41, and while using the CPE2 without the lift was fine, the lift does make things much easier - and much more consistent. ![]() I've been doing 35mm, 120, and 4X5s in the various tanks - with and without the lift. I'm still amazed at how easy color developing is. I wish I'd never listened to all the folks warning me about the "difficulty" of color. ![]()
